A truly beautiful car, carefully finished in every detail, with dark Atlantic blue paint and red interior
Fully restored and accompanied by detailed photo documentation
Recently overhauled in March 2024
ASI CRS certification
CS model with the correct factory prefix '110', twin carburettors and 115 hp
Fascination
The 'Neue Klasse' coupé represented a major evolution in BMW design, a car with sleek and elegant lines, no centre pillars and hand-assembled by Karmann. Its design had a major influence on later models, ushering in the styling that would distinguish all BMW cars for years to come and which can be found in the models of the 1990s and 00s.
The fastest version was the 2000 CS, with two carburettors increasing power to 115 hp. They were very expensive cars and produced in rather limited numbers. But the lucky few buyers secured a powerful and well-balanced sports car, among the best available on the market at the time.
For all these reasons, the New Klass coupé is today highly sought-after and collectable. Given its importance, this particular example, an original CS built in 1968 and presented in an attractive dark Atlantic blue colour with a contrasting red interior, has received a restoration of the highest standard.
Thanks to the meticulous attention it received, the condition is truly exceptional. On the outside, the impeccable high-quality paintwork and bodywork in excellent shape stand out, while inside one cannot help but admire the beautiful new upholstery and restored wood trim.
This car recently passed its last overhaul and was described to us as being in perfect running order. It's hard to find better vintage sports cars from the 1960s than the CS, and we're sure there are few better 2000CSs than this one.
