Our customer offers for sale this 1935 BMW 309 Cabrio Coupe, a pre-war vehicle featuring coachwork by the Spandauer Karosserie-Werke. Originally built as a sedan in September 1935, the car was later fitted with its current cabriolet body, a common practice at the time. This particular model underwent a restoration in 1997, including a body and engine overhaul, new convertible top, and brake system renewal. The car was also converted to a 12-volt electrical system, enhancing its usability on modern roads. More recently, in 2024, the car received a new alternator, battery, and spark plugs, along with a distributor overhaul. With just 24,000 km on the odometer since restoration, this BMW is a preserved piece of automotive history.
The exterior presents well, with the paint and bodywork in good condition, showing some signs of age, such as small chips and some scratches. The interior, refurbished in 1997, remains in good shape with signs of usage. The car may require some minor maintenance or repairs, typical for a car of this age.
The BMW 309, introduced in 1934, was designed to offer an affordable, economical car for customers moving up from the smaller Dixi. Built on the chassis of the BMW 303 but powered by a larger four-cylinder engine, the 309 combined agility with cost-effective ownership. This model featured a mixed construction of steel and wood, with steel components for the fenders and hood and wood-framed bodywork to reduce weight. While popular at the time, production of the 309 ceased in 1936 as demand shifted toward six-cylinder models. Today, the 309 is a rare and charming example of pre-war German engineering, with its coachwork making it even more desirable for collectors.
In summary, this 1935 BMW 309 Cabrio Coupe is a rare and charming pre-war classic, featuring a special body by Spandauer Karosserie-Werke. The car was restored in 1997 and remains in good overall condition, though some maintenance may be needed. It offers a unique blend of early BMW engineering and bespoke craftsmanship, making it a good choice for collectors of pre-war vehicles. The car has a historical registration in Austria and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.
