Condition 

8

The car has been lovingly restored, with work completed in 1997 and further restoration between 2009-2013. It benefits from a complete mechanical rebuild. The interior features lavish Red leather and a beautiful dashboard. The folding soft-top appears in excellent condition. The car is described as being attractively finished and displaying elegant lines. However, it is still a pre-war vehicle, implying it's not in perfect 'Pristine' condition.

This 1939 Frazer-Nash BMW 327/80 Cabriolet started out as 1 of only 19 examples when it was imported 85 years ago and there are now only 12 known to have survived.

The stunning piece of automotive artwork on offer here is indeed one of those surviving 12.

AFN imported KME203 into London in July 1938.

History of all the keepers are documented in the history file.

This fabulous Frazer Nash-BMW was then lovingly restored in 1997 by Mark Garfitt, Cwmbran, South Wales and further restoration was completed by Mike Phillips, Magor, South Wales in 2009-2013 .

Attractively finished in Black over Cream, the car has real presence displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ Black and Cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders.

The story is continued throughout the interior.

Lavish Red leather and luxurious matching pile await...
