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
