Description
Here are a few key features about the 1974 BMW 2002 Baur Cabriolet - please contact us and enquire if you have any specific queries:
BMW "02" Series :
Powerful and agile, the “02” cars soon built up a huge following and set new standards for small cars.
Baur Cabriolet:
Synonymous with open-top BMWs, the Stuttgart workshop, later known for building the seminal M1 and Porsche 959 super cars, worked hard to keep the 2002’s rigidity, opting for a targa-style arrangement similar to that of a speed boat, replacing the saloon’s C pillars with a set of reverse-rake items. Porsche owned the rights to the “Targa” name at the time, but Baur’s goal was obvious.
Great Colour Scheme:
Unusual Granitrot exterior with houndstooth trim.
Historic Vehicle:
The vehicle is currently eligible for historic vehicle status meaning it benefits from ULEZ, tax and MOT exemptions.
Historic Restoration:
There is an invoice totaling £4, 500 for restoration work. However, in my opinion it would now make a great candidate for a "use and improve" vehicle.
Potential Bargain:
With the above in mind, this BMW "02" series may present as a fantastic opportunity for someone to acquire a 2002 Baur (which rarely come to market) so grab yourself a bargain on a vehicle that will be worth a lot more in years to come. Look at the prices of it's bigger brother the BMW 3. 0 CSI!
This is a wonderful example ready to drive and good usable condition considering it's 50 years old. The car is not concourse as it would be worth so much more. Every time I drive I have people come up to me and take pictures. and it's a big head turner. This car can be picked up and driven away to enjoy during the summer. These cars are rising at the fastest rate and will be worth a lot more in the next few years even if you keep the motor as is and enjoy the great experience.
Recent exhaust and brake pipes work done and the car was fully checked by Vale Motors.
Please come and view the car before bidding, the car can be driven away. Selling because I have been offered my dream car , the Mercedes Pagoda. I will be so sorry to see this go as I've really enjoyed the driving experience it's various forms. Please feel free to come and view the car before bidding, the car can be driven away.

It is also very difficult to find an example like this, most vehicle will need a lot of recommissioning and/ or expensive parts.
