About this car

The BMW 700 CS is the sporting version of the small rear-engined coupe that helped keep BMW afloat in the early 1960s. This right-hand-drive 1964 example is a rarity in the UK, and it has been converted from its original air-cooled twin to electric power.

The car has been fully restored by Southern Classics, with the work documented by invoices and a CD recording each stage. The electric conversion was carried out separately by eDub Services, again with invoices. It is finished in white with a grey interior described as original in style.

It shows 62,099 miles and comes with its original workshop manuals and a large history file.
