Description:
BMW launched the Type 503 at the IAA in 1955 as an elegant touring car and more comfortable counterpart to the 507 Roadster. At a price of almost DM 30,000, the car was even more expensive than the BMW 507 and therefore only affordable for extremely well-heeled customers. As with the 507, the body was designed by industrial designer Albrecht Graf Goertz.
From December 1957 to May 1960, a total of 193 Type 503s (convertible and coupé) were built in the second series, of which 134 were produced as coupés.
The vehicle offered here comes from the family estate of a Norwegian shipping company. The original leather is still intact. According to the available documents, the vehicle has a total mileage of only 85,251 km. According to the available invoice documentation, the technology has been extensively overhauled.
In addition, the car impresses with its elegant colour combination and amazing driving performance for a vehicle from the 1950s.
A unique opportunity to acquire one of the rare BMW 503 Coupé of the second series in a fantastically preserved original condition!
