Description

BMW 501/8 Baroque Angel – 2.6 V8 – 1956\\A rare opportunity to acquire one of BMW’s early post-war luxury sedans – the elegant BMW 501/8, also known as the “Baroque Angel.”\\This example is powered by the 2.6-liter V8 producing around 100 hp, a smooth and characteristic engine that marked BMW’s return to prestige automobiles in the 1950s.\\The car was purchased new in Munich in the summer of 1956 by a Finnish gentleman from Tornio and remained in the same family for three generations. This continuous provenance makes it a truly special and well-documented piece of BMW history. The restoration of this 501/8 has been carried out to a very high standard.\\The body has been refinished in a slightly lighter shade of red than original, with excellent paint quality free from runs or orange peel. The hand-sewn fabric interior presents beautifully, with craftsmanship that matches the car’s character. Underneath, the car appears as if new, showing the care that has been invested.\\All chrome parts are in outstanding condition, as are the wheels and hubcaps.\\The car is also fitted with a Becker Mexico radio with automatic station search, accompanied by its original documentation – a rare and desirable period accessory.\\Even more impressively, the original sales receipt from 1956 is still with the car. This BMW 501/8 Baroque Angel is a beautifully restored and highly presentable example, with a unique ownership history and timeless design. A collector’s car of great rarity and distinction, ready to be enjoyed.\\\\We assist with worldwide export and transport, making the process smooth and worry-free.\\Welcome to Ucars Exclusive in Eslöv, southern Sweden – only a 40-minute direct train ride from Copenhagen Airport.
