1957 BARN FIND COLLECTION - BMW ISETTA UNFINISHED PROJECT For Sale

BMW-Isetta 300 - Four Wheeler - Yellow - Project to be Finished

Some people will have read of the recent barn find in South Africa. The ‘find’ (a collection of motorcycles, microcars, and Mercedes - amongst many other things) was assembled by a now deceased South African gentleman who had a plan to rebuild all the cars. Sadly, he died before the project was finished and many of the cars were left half completed or in pieces.

Phoenix Motorcycle Manufacturing have transported the entire collection to our warehouse in the UK and are currently in the process of sorting and cataloguing the items. We are now ready to offer some of the cars and parts for sale. Given that these cars are all packed tightly into our warehouse, please forgive the quality of the photographs – they are designed to give you an impression rather than a detailed understanding of each car.

The collection includes the following cars (which are various states of repair) and a vast numbers of spare parts (engines, gearboxes, body panels, etc):

3 x Messerschmitt KR 200

These were cars were rebuilt about 2 ½ years ago and were used up until about 18 months ago.

4 x BMW Isetta 300 (4 Wheeler)

These were in rebuild up until about 18 months ago. They are all rolling 4 wheeler shells with rebuilt engines, glass and wiring looms installed, seat frame installed, and lights fitted – ready to be trimmed and finished.

1 x BMW 600

This rare car has been repainted and the engine transmission is present. We are not yet sure amongst all the parts how much of the trim has actually survived.

3 x BMW 700

The 700’s are in various states:

i 700 Coupe - complete without an engine - we have the engine.
ii 700LSL Saloon – a maroon car, largely complete for reassembly - glass and trim is present.
iii 700CS Coupe– a green Coupe is a similar state, but not with the same quality of trim.

1 x Trojan Heinkel

The Heinkel Trojan is a complete car without glass. There is also a spare Heinkel engine.

7 x Goggomobil

There is one complete Goggomobil car, the rest are all in parts form.

The list of parts is endless and includes 4 x BMW Isetta engines, 3 or 4 BMW Isetta body shells all in good condition, 3 x BMW Isetta chassis (ranging from a bare chassis to a complete chassis), BMW 700 engines, at least 7 Goggomobil engines, etc, etc, etc. In addition, we have fuel tanks, body panels, trim pieces, linkages, etc. It will take us a long time to catalogue all these parts!

We have already commenced selling some parts of the collection and some cars have already gone. If you are interested, please contact us and come and visit the warehouse.
