BMW Launches Limited Edition 1936 BMW 328 Replica

Anneka @ Sytner · 01-07-2011, 06:29 AM

The car is an authentic replica of the original 1936 BMW 328 that famously won the 1939 24hr Le Man's. In 2009 one sold at auction for approximately £335,000, no one knows exactly how many of the originally produced 426 cars remain today.

The replica will be produced to order and so it is expected that only a very small number will exist.

- Two years warranty
- Leather upholstery
- Painted aluminium dashboard with retro-styled instruments and ivory background
- Carpeted floor
- Spare wheel
- Bespoke leather and body colour on demand
- Four stroke fuel powered 6.5hp engine
- Hydraulic brakes
- Electic start
- Reverse gear
- Functioning instruments, including headlights, rear lights, horn and dashboard instruments
- Size = 2.12m x 0.98m (scale 1:6)
- Weight = 152kg
- Choice of leather and body colour
- Engraved, personalised number plate

Priced in Euro's at EUR 11,000, the limited edition collectors car is available to order until January 31st 2011.

LOL. I think crossply runflats would be an improvement.

Lets hope the ECU is mapper proof, that thing would be insane in the wet

Stunning.

But rather pricey.

152kgs is rather light - it it filled with helium?

E902717 · 01-07-2011, 08:49 AM

I like it

I don't know why but i thought it would be more expensive than that

Is that a typo? Seems a bit cheap

Anneka @ Sytner · 01-07-2011, 09:31 AM

Imran, can you??

Also forgot to mention that it is road legal

That won't be so bad if it includes the road tax

Can I order it with winter tyres?
It is a deal breaker Anneka

Just the thing me and my mate 'big ears' have been looking for to take our Sunday drives in the country - does it come in Red?

Matt, nice to see you're about!
You could get a baby racer for the other one?? Last month's "Product of the Month"

The colour combo's are
- Polaris Grey (silvery) with Black leather interior
- Red with Black leather interior
- Cream (original colour) with brown leather
- Polaris Grey with red leather interior
- Charmonix White with black leather interior
- Polaris grey with brown leather interior
... or, go bespoke with BMW Individual (erm, don't quote me on that just yet)

I suspect these will (sooner or later) appreciate in value, depending how many are made.

However, I would be interested in knowing which colour combo is best. Original seems a good bet although will possibly be most common, whereas the individual buyers surely won't care about that, because they bought it for some non-historic reason?

Only with a child in it

The product communications do say enjoyed by 'you or your child', but I don't see how an interior set up for children ages 6+ will be comfortable for an adult. I wonder if Bracknell can set up a test drive for me?
