SUMMARY
Very desirable, Atlantic Blue, Baur 2002 Cabriolet, one of just 260 right-hand drive, round tail-light cars.
DESCRIPTION
- Synonymous with open-top BMWs, the design team at Bauer 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 Bauer Cab is one of only 354 examples manufactured in right-hand drive and only 260 of these were early round rear tail-light examples
- Well restored in the 1990s, it has since been brought up to date with fresh paint, an interior retrim and a new sound system to accommodate modern technology
- Mated to a 1980s, 5-speed gearbox, upgraded Webers, electronic ignition and power steering, this is a thoroughly usable classic
- Exceptionally well presented in Atlantic Blue, with a fabulous check cloth and blue leather interior, our client has ensured it has been given a thorough shakedown prior to the sale
- This is a delightful example of a desirable Classic BMW only available as our client is moving abroad.
