Selling a 1959 BMW 700

 

There’s no question that the BMW 700 saved BMW from a hostile takeover, and that legacy began with this, the 1959 BMW 700, the first production model of this outrageously successful car. First available as a saloon and a slightly more expensive coupe, the 700 defied expectations and was great fun to drive. It was so responsive, and had such good handling, in fact, that it defied yet more expectations- what few had gone un-defied before- and became one of the favorite cars for motor sports in that time period. With very nearly 200,000 of them built, the 700 went from being the last ditch effort by a failing company to one of the most popular cars of the age almost overnight- more than 25,000 orders surged in for them almost as soon as they were showcased at the Frankfurt Motor show.

1959 BMW 700 Seller’s Guide

 

The 1959 BMW 700 seems like it would be one of the perfect cars for those starting out in the classic car market- it’s uncommon but not particularly difficult to find, they’re typically in at least pretty good shape, and they aren’t super difficult to maintain. However, there is one issue involving them that might make them not quite so perfect as they seem: they were mostly located in Europe, more specifically, Germany. This discrepancy has caused them to not be as widely available in America as they ought to be, which as a result, means that their value in America is high, compared to those that never crossed an ocean. This means that it’s a great time to sell, of course. If you have a BMW 700 that you’d like to exploit the market and get loads of money for, the man to call is Alex Manos.
