The dream of every 'Bimmer' enthusiast: finding a truly old BMW. Barnfinds are so popular nowadays that some already speak of such when the car they are selling is just another abandoned, poor maintained autmobile. Yet in this particular case one can truly talk about a Barnfind.
Oleg from Moscow had this old finders dream as well but it became more reality for him when he met an old man a few years ago. The old man told him that he had a sports car from the 30s, a BMW. So every time he met the old man he asked if it was possible to see the car, but every time the conversation came to a sudden halt. Last winter he suddenly got a call and Oleg heard the magical words: 'I'm ready to sell my BMW'. You can imagine that Oleg was as happy as a little boy and he drove full throttle to the little house a few kms outside Tula (160 km's from Moscow). When he opened the garage he found his new love: a BMW 327 drophead aching for a second chance in life. Oleg couldn't believe his eyes and is probably still dreaming about that moment for the rest of his life. Which is remarkable as there are many fascinating car related memories in Tula. A Katuscha launching truck war memorial. A well taken care for Model T. And a lingering Lada cemetery.
We wish Oleg lots of success with the restoration and hope to hear again when the car is back in pre-war condition.
