By the mid-1960s BMW perceived a market for a smaller two-door version of its four-door 'New Class' executive saloon car. The end product resulted in the 1966 production 1600-2. The larger displacement 2002, directly derived from this model in 1968, would go on to establish a new reputation for BMW as a maker of high-quality affordable performance vehicles which stands today.
As noted in the owners handbook, which includes PDI stamps from a Cypriot dealer who still operates today, this 2002 was delivered new to a Flt Lt Green, on deployment with the RAF in Cyprus in 1972. A UK RHD specification round tail light car, in current ownership for 12 years, it comes with numerous invoices from leading specialists including Jaymic and Jim Stokes including; £4500 for body restoration work (November 2018), £2298 for exhaust work (December 2023) and £1870 for a brake servo overhaul (February 2024) etc. Now presenting in good condition throughout, ABW 222K further benefits from a new footwell carpet set. Finished in Maroon with Black interior, it currently registers a credible c. 93,, 000 miles (an MoT in 1996 showing 76, 000) and is accompanied by aforementioned invoices, owner’s handbook, a selection of old MoTs and Swansea V5c.
