Colorado Vollcabriolet

Ein so seltener und eleganter Vintage BMW. BMW produzierte nur 1692 BMW 1600 Cabriolets, von denen es nur noch sehr wenige gibt. Dieses Auto trägt - unserer Meinung nach - die beste Farbe: 002 Colorado Orange. Alle Cabriolets wurden von der Karosseriefirma Baur in Stuttgart hergestellt. Diese Autos gehören zu den seltensten BMWs überhaupt und sind sehr begehrt. 

Dieser Wagen wurde am 9. Oktober 1970 produziert und am 7. April 1971 an die Autohaus Krah & Elders GmbH & Co. KG in Fulda, Deutschland, am 7. April 1971 ausgeliefert. Das Auto wurde ab Werk in dieser Farbe Colorado Orange ausgeliefert. Um 2017 haben wir dieses Auto von dem letzten deutschen Besitzer in der Nähe von Nürnberg gekauft. Im Jahr 2018 haben wir das Auto restauriert und an einen Kunden in Texas, USA verkauft. Nach 7 Jahren und nur 900 gefahrenen Kilometern seit der Restaurierung, ist das Auto wieder in Oldenzaal verfügbar.

The car was completely restored between 2017 and 2018. A complete and all-out restoration. The body was stripped and the bodywork was replaced where neccesary. A complete repaint in the factory color was performed. A beautiful finish on the outside, engine-bay, trunk and undercarriage. Sharp body lines and great panelgaps, original front fenders. The car was assembled with lots and lots of new parts and the car makes an as new impression. Re-chromed front and rear bumper, new windshield. Partial new trim around the body, new trim on the sills and re-chromed taillight roundels. New, clear headlights, new emblems, new gaskets, new mirrors. All new parts, re-plated locks, nothing left forgotten. The body is very straight, showing excellent panelgaps and the paint finish is lovely. No usermarks.
The interior shows the correct Convertible seats. Everything has been reupholstered in beautiful black vinyl. It features a new set of carpets in the correct loop-style material. The dashboard is the correct 3-piece dashboard with Convertible-specific lock. Excellent doorpanels and the short center console with Convertible-only dome light.

The trunk was lovely restored with new wooden panels beautifully reupholstered in grey vinyl, a restored sparewheel, jack, tool and toolset. The frame of the convertible top has been replaced and looks as new. Also the tonneau cover has been replaced.

Technically it’s all gone through and rebuilt. The car looks, feels and drives like a new 1600 Convertible. The matching numbers engine has been rebuilt and runs like new, sounds lovely and revs eagerly. Everything on and around the engine is new as well: Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condensator, coil, coolant hoses, thermostat, waterpump, gaskets, fuel hoses, all filters and much more. It features a 123Ignition (electronic, maintainence free) and an electric fuel pump.
The front and rear axle have been removed for restoration, we’re taken apart and have been powdercoated. After that assembled with all new bushings, hardware, tie-rods, wheelbearings, rebuilt brake calipers, set of new brake lines, new rotors, pads, hoses, new shock absorbers, top mounts, brake lines, brake cilinders, brake shoes and more. The car has Bilstein shocks and H&R springs wich make for a pleasant ride.
The gearbox has been checked and re-sealed and fitted with a new clutch, guibo, center driveshaft bearing, rubber mounts and fluid. The exhaust system is all new and stock.  The fueltank was powdercoated and inside-coated. It sits on the correct 4,5×13″ wheels that were repainted, have fresh tyres and the correct small chrome hubcaps.

Der Wagen wurde mit viel Liebe, Präzision und unzähligen Neuteilen zusammengebaut. Fabrikneu, keine Gebrauchsspuren, nur 900 Kilometer seit der Restaurierung.
