Beschreibung:

The foundation of BMW's post-war resurgence was the four-door 1500 saloon and its derivatives, the company capitalising on their success by adding revised two-door models to the range in 1966. Like the earlier cars, the new 1600 (later 1602) featured unitary construction, all-independent suspension and front disc brakes. All variants came with the Munich firm's dependable, single-overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder engine under the bonnet, which despite its humble origins would go on to form the basis of a turbo-charged 1,000-horsepower Grand Prix unit and Formula 1 World Championship winner. New for 1963, the 1800 model used a 1,773cc engine at first before rationalisation saw it replaced by an updated short-stroke 1,766cc unit in 1968. Endowed with attractive styling, more than adequate performance, reasonable economy and excellent controllability, BMW's 1500/1600/1800 sports saloons proved outstandingly successful, nearly 200,000 of all types being produced between 1961 and 1972. Finished in Chamonix (white), this un-restored 1800 four-door saloon has covered 126,196 kilometres (approximately 78,370 miles) from new. Kept in long-term storage as part of the owner's private collection, the car will require re-commissioning before returning to the road. Offered with Fahrzeugbrief. No reserve.
