From Russia with love: BMW 327 barnfind


The dream of every 'Bimmer' enthusiast: finding a truly old BMW. Barnfinds are so popular nowadays that some already speak of such when the car they are selling is just another abandoned, poor maintained autmobile. Yet in this particular case one can truly talk about a Barnfind. Oleg from Moscow had this old finders dream as well but it became more reality for him when he met an old man a few years ago. The old man told him that he had a sports car from the 30s, a BMW. So every time he met the old man he asked if it was possible to see the car, but every time the conversation came to a sudden halt. Last winter he suddenly got a call and Oleg heard the magical words: 'I'm ready to sell my BMW'. You can imagine that Oleg was as happy as a little boy and he drove full throttle to the little house a few kms outside Tula (160 km's from Moscow). When he opened the garage he found his new love: a BMW 327 drophead aching for a second chance in life. Oleg couldn't believe his eyes and is probably still dreaming about that moment for the rest of his life. Which is remarkable as there are many fascinating car related memories in Tula. A Katuscha launching truck war memorial. A well taken care for Model T.  And a lingering Lada cemetery. 
We wish Oleg lots of success with the restoration  and hope to hear again when the car is back in pre-war condition.

Nice job!

I am curious to learn about the story of the car, surely arrived in Tula, with Luftwaffe or Werhmacht in this area....

Congratulations to Oleg. It will be a great car and gives us dreamers hope that we may find something special hidden away. And thanks for including the picture of the beautiful bodywork on the Model T. That more than makes up for the Retromobile picture.

I was taken by the Wolsely entry. As a child I visited my Grandmother, in Toronto, Ont, who ran a rooming house at 27 Wolsely, St. [email protected]
