Equipment
4-speed, wheel covers, Michelin tires, roof rack, wood shift knob, pushbutton radio, VDO dash clock, original books, tools and spare.
Condition
Light wear on the BMW badge. Some light detail scratches, a handful of chips and some slight rub through on the right front, plus some blistering on the left wheelarch, but that's all forgivable on otherwise remarkably well kept original paint. Light scratches and a small dent on the windshield frame. Clean bumpers and plastic. Fantastic seats and carpets. A few tiny cracks in the dash but the steering wheel, shift knob and gauges all look fantastic. Showing just 17,795 believable miles. It's unusual to see a Bavaria in any condition these days, so to see one so babied and original is really special. A great classic BMW with room for your kids or friends.
Market commentary
Despite being the last car of the sale, this is a monumental price for a Bavaria, but then again most of them have long since rusted away or been used up, so it would be just about impossible to find another original this good. And the bidders were more than willing to pay for that distinction.
