This BMW 327/28 Cabriolet was manufactured in 1938 at the BMW plant in Eisenach, fitted with the 80 PS engine of the BMW 328, and was subsequently exported to Sweden in 1939. An archive list – presumably from a Swedish BMW club – relating to this vehicle lists all of the car’s owners, along with their registration details and dates, up to 1965. According to this, the car remained with its first owner in Stockholm until 1950. The list then records further owners in Sweden until the 327/28 moved to Norway with its owner in 1965.
The BMW later returned to Germany and, a few years ago, underwent a comprehensive restoration by a renowned specialist for BMW 327 and 328 models. As part of this work, the car was dismantled into its individual components and restored to as-new condition. The bodywork is in excellent condition and the same applies to all fittings and the chrome trim. The soft top, including the mechanism, looks as good as new. The new paintwork, in a period-correct two-tone scheme of black and dark red, is of a high standard and has a sporty yet elegant appearance. The interior, including the seats, dashboard and instruments, as well as the floor mats and trim, has been thoroughly refurbished or overhauled. The black leather seats feature red piping – a particularly beautiful, stylish detail.
The engine fitted is a genuine replacement unit of the correct type. All bodywork components and auxiliary units have been fitted correctly. The engine runs beautifully, responds well to the throttle and has a sonorous six-cylinder sound. As part of the work carried out, the entire mechanical system, the chassis, the electrical system and the braking system have been overhauled or replaced. The underbody looks as good as new, with no damage, rust or patch welding. The manual gearbox is fully synchronised for improved drivability.
The car drives very smoothly and is easy to handle, with an excellent steering geometry. The restoration costs incurred are likely to far exceed the current purchase price. A superb BMW 327/28 Cabriolet for carefree enjoyment !
