I thought this might be interesting to some E3 enthusiasts. We are restoring one of the 3 E3 Kombi`s built by BMW in 1970 for their race department. The cars were based on a 3;0s saloon with a roll cage & all of the rear seat area boarded for storage, and sleeping!
We think this is the only one left and intend to restore it and use it again.
I will try to put some pictures up.

I know that The Werkshop in Chicago has been restoring a couple of E3 station wagons. Is the one you are referring to one of those?

What do You call it?

Is it a "Touring", an "Estate", a "Kombi" or a "Station Wagon"?
Please don't let it be a "Shooting Brake" (or "Break").

I would have guessed it is being restored to blackmail BMW...
Specially that black funeral home wagon.

Some of you might recognize the guy in the red van.
This was long before he upgraded to a white Mercedes truck, with yellow and red stripes (and its content).

Yes, I do recognize Dieter Tögel. Was he the owner of the E3 Kombi?

looks like the 'Togel Kombi' had seen a few scraps (left front and right rear)
guess he didn't 'leave it on the track'

;-)
neat stuff, keep 'em coming
