1065487

ACTUAL VIN: "1065487 / VN" (Per Andreas Harz)

Imported to the US from Portugal via the Netherlands (Geert Kistemaker at Heritage Cars in Delft).

Per Andreas Harz (BMW Group Classic, BMW Group Archiv): "This 2002 was delivered to Portugal as a 2002 CKD (completely knocked down), that was built in January 1971 and then delivered to Portugal to be completed there. The letters "VN" are typical for CKD/SKD cars. While we don’t know when the car was completed in Portugal the kit itself would technically be a 1971 model year."
