This BMW 507 is a first-series example that was produced in July of 1957. It left the factory finished in Papyros (an off-white color), with a red leather interior, whitewall tires, a hardtop, and a Becker Mexico radio with an automatic transmission. The first owner was Herbert Dinkheller who registered it in the name of his company, but ownership was later transferred to him personally in November of 1957. Dinkheller sold it in April of 1958. The third owner was Hermann Beilharz of Mötzingen who purchased it in 1963 and owned it for just over five decades. The current owner acquired it in 2014.
The car has its original engine. Early in Beilharz's ownership, the car was refinished in black. It is currently finished in a shade of sea green and has a black hardtop. The interior remains in its original condition. The odometer shows 73,000 original kilometers. It rides on Rudge wheels which are color-matched to the bodywork. A set of original steel wheels still accompany the car.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2016
