Chassis 88006 is a postwar EMW 327 Sport Coupé, one of roughly 505 built by Eisenacher Motorenwerk after World War II. First registered in Finland in 1955 — EMW's largest export market — it spent time in the eastern Finnish city of Mikkeli before being re-registered in Kokemäki in 1973. Withdrawn from use later that decade, it was acquired by the Munich Masterpieces Collection in 1998 and returned to the road in 2009 following a complete restoration, finished in two-tone red and black with a burgundy leather interior.
