Apparently there's up to 34 of them around...? One of them selling at an elevated price point will bring out 1 or two more. Sadly, they're likely to stay in the hands of the few people who have the disposable income to buy them, and keep them locked away.

The person who buys this will happily cruise to work in (say) $100k worth of Audi, Mercedes, BMW or whatever. But take a lower value older car on the road? Naah... Something like this is exceptional. It's not run-of-the-mill. It's price really should have no relevance to a PFL 320i, but 'market forces' will say it does. We may find out what someone with a healthy bank balance is prepared to pay for an unusual example.

Apologies for the small size. A piece of aftermarket history.

Period tuning.

So long as the buyer knows exactly what they are getting...

1966 BMW M10 “Apfelbeck” radial valve engine. 260 hp at 8000rpm. Dual injectors per cylinder with a 4 cylinder Kugelfischer injection pump - there's a tee in the fuel line to add the second injector.

The start is like a slalom of overtaking and finding track others had missed! 30000+ laps of the 'ring. She new which way to go. Wasn't she furious at being passed around 2:45? Didn't last long!

Prices seem to be rising faster than inner city 3-bed houses....
