This particular 1969 BMW 2002 was purchased by the previous owner, Mr. Dick Loofburrow, specifically for this reason. In 2011 Mr. Loofburrow commissioned Racecraft of Woodinville, WA to turn chassis 1567228 into a vintage race car. The subsequent build took place between 2011 and 2013. The build was completed to the homologation form for a 1968 BMW 2002 2000cc car. The paint scheme was based on a vintage car that he had seen in a magazine racing in Britain. The car was then registered to race under SOVREN, Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts, in 2013. In its SOVREN registration book from 2013 it notes the specifications including a stock OHC engine, cast-iron cylinder block and aluminum head, stock 5-speed transmission, 245/10, original configuration brakes, front caliper and rear drum, fuel cell, and race seatbelts. It also states that the engine has been ported, polished and balanced.

Mr. Schmitt purchased the race-prepped 2002 in late 2013. A close-ratio 5-speed transmission was installed around 2015 as well as straight pipe exhaust and a helmet blower. An E30 differential has also been installed to accommodate wider wheels and tires. The car received an SVRA engine certification in 2017 after having work completed by Performance Motors.
