Description
1972 BMW 2002 – Verona Red – Exceptional, Original Body
A rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding example of the car that defined BMW’s sporting saloon heritage.
This 1972 BMW 2002 is finished in Verona Red, widely regarded by enthusiasts as the best colour for the model when paired with chrome trim and round rear lights. In this configuration, it represents the most desirable and timeless specification of the BMW 2002.
The car benefits from a full body respray completed October 2025, with an exceptional finish throughout. The underside, interior, boot and engine bay had already been painted to the same high standard.
Most importantly:
This car has never required welding. The body is completely original and in mint condition, which is exceptionally rare for a BMW 2002. It has been dry-stored for over 30 years, and the condition of the shell clearly reflects this.
