• Only one former registered owner
• Unmodified and faithful to its original specification
• Matching serial numbers confirmed
• French technical inspection valid until November 2028

The Appeal

This 1961 example has been in its current owner’s hands since 1991, having had only one previous registered owner. It is reported as unmodified and faithful to its original specification, having been used sparingly for rides in fine weather and stored in a dry garage. The seller rates the bodywork, paint, seat and mechanical components all as very good, with only light signs of wear.

With matching serial numbers, a clean MOT valid until November 2028, and decades of careful stewardship by a single owner, it’s a compelling opportunity to acquire a well‑maintained example of BMW’s legendary flat‑twin boxer.
