this time. A complete and honest restoration candidate. Offered
with its factory owners manuals. Not to be missed by any BMW
collector or enthusiast. Introduced at the 1959 Frankfurt Motor
Show, the BMW 700 was well received in Germany and performed well
in motorsport, with Hans Stuck winning the 1960 German Hill climb
Championship and Walter Schneider taking the 1961 German Saloon Car
title. The BMW 700 was the first BMW model built with a monocoque
chassis. The rear-mounted flat twin cylinder motor was based on the
600 and displaced 697cc. Improved brakes and rack and pinion
steering endowed the 700 with excellent driving characteristics.
