We thought that the autohart of The King mainly in gaudy Cadillacs lag, but somewhere in the fifties did Elvis with a 507 on the head tapping. A car that will soon be back to its original state is reduced.

The eye of Elvis fell on the German roadster when the musician was stationed in Germany, in the period from march 1958 – march 1960. Elvis was already nationally known & wealthy, bought the white copy that on the car show of Frankfurt had stood, and where Hans Stuck is still in use. In the episode, he received him therefore with a new engine.

It seems that Elvis the 507 in the red has applied and because he was the numerous phone numbers that are on the bodywork were left more than tired. Anyway, in 1960, was the car to America met, where the BMW with the chassis number 70079 in the hands of a DJ, who is there simply a Chevy V8 inlegde. After a detour was the car finally road to languish in a storage room, where BMW him last month wegplukte. He is now in the BMW museum at the headquarters in Munich.

Before the restoration process starts, is the BMW the next time to admire. Elvis bought the roadster at the time, for $3.750, an amount that you now quiet may verhonderdvoudigen.
