This car caught my eye on Hemmings. Offered in Monaco by RM Sotheby's this weekend. Although out of my league by far, I thought the Euro $110K-$140 doesn't seem "out of this world." With the No Reserve and these tasteful, more drivable "upgrades." That can be loosely interpreted and I understand maybe decrease the value, in this case I like it. Great color combo and boy would this be fun to have for Monterrey week. You decide! Hopefully we will see it there, can't even afford the plane ticket to Monaco, let alone a hotel and casino money! From the ad:
"Acquired more recently by the consignor, he embarked on a unique restoration and decided to create the ultimate BMW 327, set up for greater performance and with modern driving conditions in mind. In place of the original six-cylinder engine, a 3,168-cubic centimetre alloy V-8 from a BMW 503 with ported heads, sports camshaft, and high compression pistons was fitted. To aid cooling, a BMW 501 radiator was fitted, along with an electric fan. With more comfortable cruising in mind, a close-ratio five-speed Getrag gearbox was fitted, and the original narrow axles were replaced with 503 axles, without fundamental modifications to the 327 chassis, reportedly providing improved stability and giving the car a more purposeful stance. Subtle finishing touches include Xenon headlamps and electric windows, using the original winders converted to switches. The car was then finished in the striking deep black over yellow colour combination.
