Would you buy a rusty BMW, supplied in boxes?

You walk up to a guy at a classic car market who doesn’t have a clue what sort of a rusted out BMW he’s selling in banana boxes. It’s 1989. The Berlin Wall is still standing, but doesn't look as strong as it once did, so you make the purchase in hope of a brighter future. Obviously.

You might be crazy, but Helmut Schlosser is crazier.

Not only did he buy a six-cylinder BMW without having all the pieces (or a manual) in those boxes, but he also kept going after realizing the scale of the job, which took the better part of the next decade. But it is a 303, the very first BMW with the kidney grill. It’s the kind of thing that drives normally sane men mad.

1,700 hours and a trip to Switzerland later, he finally turned the key and pushed the starter button.
