1940 BMW 335 Cabriolet

100345roadGermany

Engine: Straight-six
Colour: Two-tone green with dark green soft-top

The BMW 335 Cabriolet, produced between 1939 and 1941, was BMW's answer to rivals such as Mercedes-Benz, Horch, and Wanderer, with only around 420 examples built. Chassis 100345 is among just ten fitted with coachwork by Darmstadt-based Autenrieth, delivered new to the Neuhaus family in Wuppertal. Presented in two-tone green with a dark green soft-top and matching light green interior, this four-door example retains a high degree of originality and period patina.
