Believed to be one of only 12 right-hand drive cars destined for the UK, this recently restored 502 has a fascinating history. The 502 was a luxury saloon built by BMW from 1954 until 1958 and in terms of character and style, is often regarded as the ancestor of the current 7-Series. Registered in 1957, very few were manufactured for the right-hand drive market, with HSK 533 seemingly being one of just 12 cars produced in this format. Believed to have been purchased by Leslie H. Trainer, the founder of Trainer BMW of Swansea. Powered by a 3.2-litre V8, delivering up to 120bhp to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
Restored to a remarkable standard in the 1970s by a BMW main dealer, subsequently going on to win the Munich Cup at the BMW International Concours d' Elegance in 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1986. Stored since 1991, the vehicle was sold by us in 2016 as a project, however once again it has been superbly restored (details in our Sellers Rating) Supplied with a huge history file, with period invoices to the current day. Rarely seen today and with a fascinating history, this example would make an elegant addition to any classic car enthusiast’s garage.
