Description

Only 37 units were produced of the BMW 501 Baur Cabriolet in six-cylinder version. This is one of them and then also in a beautifully restored condition and with all the history and documents as well as the certificate from BMW. In short: a BMW 501 like you love to see and at the same time rarely come across. The most recent owner had him no less than 32 years in possession.This 501 comes from 1955, according to the "Zertifikat" of BMW Mobile Tradition, the BMW was produced on June 20, 1955 to be delivered three days later in Aachen to the first owner, Friedrich Visé & Co to be exact.Now, 78 years later, the car looks like he can be delivered by us again to a first owner: new condition! In the past, the car has been beautifully and professionally restored to a high standard. The fresh blue paint color suits the car particularly well and the round body lines come out perfectly. The condition of the bodywork can be described as very good, without problems and just with beautiful fits of the sheet metal.The interior of the 501 is beautiful and has the same, almost Baroque-like appearance, as the exterior. Wonderful gauges and details, housed in a beautiful blue painted dashboard. To contrast, the steering wheel, a work of art in itself, is done in ivory color. The steering wheel is beautiful, with a slight patina that emphasizes the originality and quality of the car. That patina can also be found when we look at the beautiful blue leather upholstery. It is clear to see that this quality is very high, so the patina is limited to a nice shine and some nice work in the leather. What an atmosphere, what a trip back in time to the '50s and what a realization of how, at the time, people opted for 'only the best is good enough'!The technology of the 501-6, where 'strich-sechs' stands for the six-cylinder, has been perfectly maintained. With the car comes a stack of invoices and, moreover, after just a few meters of driving it is clear that we are dealing with top quality here. Comfort, flexibility, a powerful engine and top-notch technology such as the chassis, brakes and steering: what a treat! The BMW 501 comes with a file full of history, documents, correspondence between (former) owners, invoices and certificates. In short: if you are looking for a fantastic, rare and luxurious convertible from the '50s you can hardly ignore this Baur Cabriolet.
