It is hard to compare a BMW 315/1 with the superfamous 328. Still you will. So let's say it is the 'poor mans' 328... but still a highly attractive car and only on very rare occasions on the market in restoration quality. Currently the pretty roadster is is not road worthy and according to Christoph Grohe it is in need of a ground off restoration. In a way he is right as it is scruffy wherever you look. On the other hand these cars have so much more personality when they have their past 'written all over'. Check for instance
the shabby seats, the
non original carbie arrangement (another expert confirms thse are the correct ones). Originally the paint was a two tone 'Schwarz/Fischsilber' which is very 'schön'. Take away the BMW history and it's just a friendly old bugger. With some white spots in history as well. But no sweat, in May 2001 it was recognised by BMW Mobile Tradition as the BMW 315/1 with chassis #51461, that was built in April 1935 with 'Auslieferungsdatum' 12.04.1935 to a Mr. Paul Mohr in Mönchen-Gladbach. To this we can add that the same Luxembourg owner who received the certificate kept the car until 2007 when he offered it for sale through these pages. And now the car pops up again from oblivion in the hands of
Christoph Grohe. He would love to know all about the period 1935-2001 and after 2007. The car will be on display at his stand in Hall 6 during the Techno Classica, next week in Essen.
