That sure looks like an E9 but it is missing the side intakes… is that one of the Karmann factory cabrio prototypes? Looks good. I wish the E9 had been optionable with an SL-style removable hardtop.
Those 4 BMWs are E3s including the Cabriolet. Look closely it has 4 doors.
I found the collection here. So it’s a custom E3 cabrio. Looks really excellent, I think, “factory or better” is right.
Seems a fair price, a bit higher than the original dealer price. These models were also initiated by Christian. He might have some New Horizon models left. Shipping to America or buying in America should make no difference, however.
Minichamps models of all four Wundercars in 1:43 are to follow, says the manufacturer.
Right. You may take a look here: <https://www.e3-wundercar.de>, to see all four cars. They are all E3.
The California started as a 1970 2800 Automatic. It was converted during the late 10s-early 20s. The conversion took some time and effort. To compensate for the roof, the lower structure was reinforced, the California is stiffer than an E3 saloon, checked by German authorities. Difficulty was, reinforcements were not allowed to be seen, not even on the underside. Christian wanted it like that. Rear doors are gone. Front doors are 30 cm (about 1 ft.) longer than normal to get balanced aesthetics when viewed from the side. The remains of the door pillar were moved backwards, too, of course. It has no top. Driving this car you have to deal with the elements, like it or not. Apart from that, the California is an ordinary E3 Series 1.
