SUMMARY
Attractive, Polaris Silver, Baur 2002 Cabriolet, one of just 260 right-hand drive, round tail-light cars.
DESCRIPTION
- Synonymous with open-top BMWs, the design team at Baur in Stuttgart worked hard to keep the 2002’s rigidity, opting for a Targa-style arrangement replacing the saloon’s C-posts with a set of reverse-rake items
- This 2002 Baur Cab is one of only 354 examples manufactured in right-hand drive and only 260 of these were early, round rear tail-light, examples
- Finished in Polaris Silver over its original blue vinyl interior with grey carpets, its sits on newly refurbished alloys
- Powered by the 1,991cc, M10, 100bhp, inline-four coupled to a manual gearbox
- First registered in 1973, it's believed to have stayed with its first keeper till 1977, remaining with its second until our vendor's purchase in 2017
- It may have only covered 50 miles in current ownership but during that time it's had a gearbox rebuild, braking system new parts, tyres and heater matrix
- This is a usable example of a desirable Classic BMW, with the all-important round tail lights
