In April 1938, BMW introduced the option of ordering its 327 Sports Cabriolet with the more powerful Type 328 engine, which it badged as the “327/28”.
The 328 powerplant raised the top speed to 140 km/h, ensuring the model became a firm favourite with amateur racers in the post-war era.
Production ended in late 1940, with just 569 examples built.
This 327/28 was ordered new via the Danish agent, Skandinavisk Moter of Copenhagen, with the first owner taking delivery on 5 April 1939, and registering the car in Aalborg.
By 1949, the BMW had been sold to Peter Morgens Skarring, an avid amateur racer.
Following his purchase, Skarring entered the 327/28 into the Lufthavnsløbet race in Copenhagen on 18 September 1949.
Campaigning the BMW throughout the early 1950s, period photographs show Skarring competing in the 1950 Tulip Rally and the 1951 Viking Rally in Norway.
Notably, this 327/28 raced at the inaugural 1950 Svenska Rallyt till Midnattssolen, which later became Rally Sweden.
