Is it Gil Tyrer's MM BMW 328 which sometimes appeared in programmes as a BMW 328 Brescia.

As I'm clean out of ideas, please unlock it so others can have a try.

SACO · January 04, 2018, 04:58:59 PM

Not Gil Tyrer's MM BMW 328 !
Sorry but unlocked !

Another UK BMW special was the Willis but I'm pretty sure this is not that as it looked like this in the 1940s :

SACO · January 05, 2018, 03:42:30 AM

Not the same car !

SACO · January 16, 2018, 02:10:37 AM

The driver is wearing a 1960s-era helmet. This photo was probably taken at a VSCC meeting. Back to you Allan L.

This is a well -known German Special built before the War by a wealthy Timber Merchant from Essen. Walter Schluter and was known as the Schluter Special, in fact he had two 328s It came into the UK with a member of the Forces after the war. It went through various hands and via Tony Mitchell it went to George McKeever of Witney, Oxon. Mike Sythes bought it from him in about 1997.

SACO · January 17, 2018, 04:21:55 PM

Yes ! BMW 328 Schlûter by Walter Schlûter
The photo dates 1969 at Silverstone
And now with Mike Sythes :
1 point for William Hearne !
