1971 BMW 2800 CS Coupe
VIN: 2270639
Mileage: 79,529
Polaris Silver, 4 speed, blue leather, manual sunroof. Factory AC. Only two owners. Last registered and inspected in New Hampshire for summer use in 2003. To the best of our knowledge the last time this car was running and driven was in approximately 2009. Repainted once in it's life.
This car is completely original right down to the original carburetors with no modifications ever. It Is a matching numbers car, The gearbox is a ZF 4 speed. Always stored indoors and garaged.
The original owner of this car acquired it as a US spec car with delivery in London, England. The car was later imported to the United States and was in Connecticut.
We recovered this car from storage as pictured. The second owner recently passed away and his heirs did do a quick cleanup of the car. Presently it is not yet running, it needs some amount of work to be a safe driver. This includes everything from tires, some suspension components, and rubber mounts etc. underneath the car. I would fully expect that the brake calipers, master cylinder, and rear wheel cylinders need to be either rebuilt or replaced. We will make the car run to determine the condition of the engine. The latter will require the replacement of the starter motor.
The overall body condition of this car would have to be described as good to very good, with some portions of it to be considered in excellent condition.
For example, the spare tire well is still shiny silver with no rust below the spare wheel! After an extensive inspection on my part before purchase I was only able to find two rust spots. One that needs attention is the right front floor corner where someone miss placed a jack and damaged the floor to rocker panel seam under the car. The other spot is in the area of the top left fender. (see attached pictures) there are some scratches in the left rear quarter panel behind the door that happened while in storage.
Interior condition has some very strong positives and some negatives. The dashboard is uncracked the wood is completely intact without any indications of water leakage at the corners of the windshield. Wood on the doors door panels and trim panels are in good condition. The car is equipped with the original Becker stereo. The negative, mold. All interior surfaces were and or still are covered with a light film of mold, there is some staining to the headliner. This mold is also on the wiring under the dashboard. An extensive cleaning of this car will be required!
Here is an excellent opportunity to own an extremely solid low mileage E9 CS Coupe, that with a little bit of work and effort will turn out to be an extremely eye-catching car!
Asking price as it sits, $9880.00. This price will be adjusted once we have the car running driving and moving under its own power.
VSR will be very interested in working with a potential buyer of this car to turn it into a running driving car.
