BMW’s 507 ranks as one of the all time greats, with a prime example having just sold in America for over $1,000,000. This example will be more modestly priced, but in many ways is even rarer. Built for the owner of a new 507 (full size) back in 1956, it was used by his two sons on the one mile private drive leading to their estate in Suffolk. Now requiring some minor restoration work, it is made of glass fibre on a steel frame and is powered by a Briggs and Stratton engine. Now in good running condition and with 4 new innertubes, this is a must for the serious collector, whether their passion is minature cars or BMW 507s!
