Selling a 1960 BMW 700

 

If there were a college textbook about classic cars, the 1960 BMW 700 would be on the front cover, as well as the subject of the introduction (and have an entire chapter devoted solely to it). An icon in every sense of the word, the 700 embodied the time period it was produced in, not with inky words or painted landscapes, but with metal, glass, and rubber. Though the product of troubled times, rife with shortages in fuel and resources- reflected in the tiny two-cylinder motorcycle engine that powered the 700 to its success and popularity- the 700 represented hope and recovery, for both BMW and Germany as a whole. Unexpectedly, the 700 was a wonderful platform for motorsports, as its engine was highly tunable, its handling is lively and precise, and its acceleration was impressive- impressive enough to make for a not altogether impressive top speed, particularly in sports not wholly based in speed, such as rallies and hill climbing.

1960 BMW 700 Seller’s Guide

 

Over all the years of its production, nearly 200,000 BMW 700s were manufactured. The 1960 BMW 700, just the second of its many production years, is seen by many as a perfect car for those just starting out in the classic car community. This means that if your 700 is for sale, you might expect to see not only more buyers than you’d typically see for a classic car, but more inexperienced buyers who might not have a firm grasp on what they’re doing yet. While this might sound like good news- enthusiastic and naive buyers may be willing to pay more- but this may not be the case. While yes, some might be over-excited and want to buy for the first price you offer, some may try to compensate for their inexperience by trying to start conflict over the value, over things that may not actually affect it.
