Arjan Rietveld

This BMW 327, originally delivered on April 1, 1938, to BMW importer Tracta in Bucharest, Romania, boasts a rich history. At the time, the car featured a black-ivory color scheme, with a black body and ivory-colored side panels.

In 2015, the vehicle was purchased by the current owner in Valkenswaard, Netherlands. Since then, the BMW underwent an extensive and sympathetically restoration to bring it into a preserved condition. Only about 800 kilometers have been driven since this work was completed. Further details regarding the restoration can be found further in this text.

Detailed documentation, including photos of the chassis and engine numbers as well as official correspondence with BMW, confirms the authenticity and provenance of this exceptional BMW 327.

After the vehicle’s purchase in 2015, the current owner of this BMW 327, undertook several tasks to ensure the car was brought to very good condition and its future safeguarded. These works are outlined below.

A new wiring harness was installed, enhancing the reliability and safety of the electrical system. The chassis was completely disassembled, with every bolt removed. The chassis itself was welded to ensure structural integrity and to maintain the car in top shape. 

The bodywork remained in the condition it was purchased in and was not repainted, preserving the vehicle’s authenticity. To replace the original fuel tank, a stainless steel tank was added, fitted with oak slats, as per the original design. Additionally, a 6-volt fuel pump with an independent circuit was installed.

The engine and gearbox were fully overhauled. The engine itself was recast and underwent heat treatments, giving it the characteristics of a modern engine. Since the overhaul, the engine has been in use for only 800 kilometers.

Detailed documentation of the restoration works is available, including photos of the welding, both before and after the restoration, providing a thorough record of the process. Furthermore, invoices for the overhaul of the engine and gearbox, as well as for the replacement of original parts such as the fuel gauge, clock, and other instruments, are included. These documented works ensure the car remains in optimal condition, retaining its value and authenticity.

All documentation is available and ready to go.

With the car comes a lot of manuals and other info.
