Yes and no. It is a BMW 3200 CS Cabriolet, but it is not the one built by Bertone.

Actually, I was wondering why this one was white, because the one I mentioned is silver. I assumed it got repainted by the owner ...

Is this a private conversion then?

I had no idea that there was a second convertible ...

Was it build for a special occasion?
