Asking | Â£140,000 GBP One of only 273 CoupÃ© variants of the BMW 503 Powered by an accomplished 3.2-litre V-8 engine with five-speed manual gearboxRetains charming period features such as Becker Mexico radio and sunroof As global economies looked to rebuild after World War II, automotive manufacturers vied to develop new ideas to reignite sales. BMW eyed the high-end market as a viable solution, in-part influenced by Max Hoffman, the New York-based importer of luxury European cars, who was convinced such cars would yield a profit in the US. As a result, the BMW 503 became the manufacturerâs first purpose-designed post-war coupÃ©, also made in cabriolet form. In either closed or open form, the 503 was positioned as an opulent grand tourer and was built alongside the luxuriously appointed 507 Roadster. With its welded tubular frame construction, aluminium panels, and alloy V-8 engine, the 503 quickly proved very expensive to build. During a production run from May 1956 to March 1959, BMW built just 413 CoupÃ© and Cabriolet examples; 273 of those were the attractive tin-top version. Despite attempts to appeal to the US market with the fitment of a 3.2-litre V-8 engine, both the 503 and 507 struggled to bring in the sales expected by BMW, in large part due to a higher-than-expected list price, inflated due to spiralling build costs. Today, the low production numbers of the 503 CoupÃ© result in the model being highly coveted among collectors. The limited consumer interest during its years of manufacture reflect unfairly on the 503, an attractive classic powered by one of the most characterful engines BMW had produced. The long bonnet, 2+2 seating configuration, and ample boot space affirm the 503 CoupÃ©âs status as an elegant and capable grand tourer.The example offered here, chassis 69359, is presented in beige over a tan leather interior. Its light colouring is complemented by the generous application of chrome lavished on both the exterior and interior. The BMW features many charming period features, such as the Becker Mexico radio and sunroof. A tin-box toolkit can be found mounted within the engine bay. Arguably one of the rarest and most desirable BMWs of the 1950s, the next owner of this 503 CoupÃ© will surely revel in its attractive styling and characterful road manners.Please note that this lot is subject to VAT on the full purchase price.

One of 58 examples!

At the IAA in September 1955, BMW presented its two new flagships, the 507 and the 503. The trade press and the public were enthusiastic.

In contrast to the 507, the sports car designed by Albrecht Graf von Goertz used the classic vertical BMW kidney and offered space for four people.

With its electro-hydraulic soft top and electric windows, it was one of the most modern and luxurious cars of the mid-1950s.

However, with a price of 29,500 DM it was almost three times as expensive as a Porsche 356 and even about 3,000 DM more expensive than the 507!

The number of units for both the convertible and the coupé therefore remained very low.

In the first series 78 and in the second only 58 cabriolets were produced.

Our car was delivered new to the dealer "Europa-Garage Saarbrücken".

According to reports, the first owner was a sales representative from Kaiserslautern.

Further owners can be found in the original documents.

The 503 has been in the current ownership since 1982!

From 1983-1986, the car was completely restored to an unusually high standard for the time. The work is documented in invoices and, for the most part, in photographs.

In the last 40 years the owner enjoyed many beautiful trips and journeys with his 503 Cabriolet. For reasons of age, he is now parting with his classic car.

The vehicle also comes with a custom-made 4-piece set of luggage.
