AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL
The EMW 327 is a significant post-war model of the original BMW 327. Following the end of World War II, these vehicles were rebranded to distinguish those produced under Soviet occupation from the cars authorized by the BMW head office in Munich. While the original BMW products utilized the iconic blue and white badge, these post-1945 Eisenacher Motoren Werke (EMW) models featured a distinctive red and white badge. This specific vehicle is an EMW 327-3 Sport Coupe with manufacturing serial number 88035. It represents a very rare piece of automotive history, as it is number 33 of only approximately 152 cars ever built at the Eisenach factory.

BODYWORK & PAINT
This example was the subject of an extensive restoration completed in 2005. The process was a dedicated labor of love by the current owner, resulting in a finish that earned a score of 4.81 out of 5.00 in a nationwide restoration competition. Although nearly 20 years have passed since the work was finalized, the car remains in great order. As is expected with any vehicle that has been used, there are some minor signs of wear visible in certain areas of the bodywork.

TECHNICAL
Mechanically, the vehicle is in complete working order and offers a great driving experience. Apart from the change in badging, the EMW 327 remained technically indistinguishable from the pre-war BMW 327 design. This car has been consistently maintained and serviced whenever required to ensure its continued performance. Since the restoration was completed, it has been driven approximately 3000 km.

INTERIOR
The interior was fully renewed and repaired as part of the comprehensive restoration project. The cabin environment was brought back to a high standard to match the quality of the mechanical and exterior work.

DOCUMENTS
Detailed documentation is available for this vehicle, including a significant collection of photographs. These images cover the car in its current state as well as a thorough photographic record of the entire restoration period.

COLLECTION
This vehicle is located for collection in Valkeakoski, Finland. It is currently held by a private owner who oversaw its award-winning restoration, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a limited-production unit from the Eisenach factory.

OTHER INFORMATION
Additional detailed photos are available and can be sent upon request for interested parties wishing to inspect the finer details of the car or its restoration history.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
