VW-Powered 1961 BMW 700 Sport Coupe Race Car

This distinctive 1961 BMW 700 Sport Coupe showcases a unique blend of German engineering and racing spirit. Originally manufactured in Munich, this classic coupe has been transformed into a formidable race car by its previous owners. Powered by a lively Volkswagen 'air-cooled' flat-four engine fitted with dual Weber carburetors, it's connected to a manual four-speed transaxle, ensuring smooth power delivery on the track. The exterior underwent a repaint, now donned in an eye-catching blue hue with a contrasting white roof. Inside, the stripped interior features essential racing amenities such as a roll bar, Kirkey racing seat and harness for driver safety, along with a Racebox lap timer to monitor progress during laps. Despite its competition intent, this vintage BMW retains its timeless charm and heritage, making it both an impressive racer and a desirable collects car from the '60s generation of German autos.
