BMW 2002 - A Famous
Classic
"The BMW 2002 is one of the most
understated cars in history".
The 2002 was a car ahead of it's time when it
was first released in the late 60's and early 70's.
This particular model has a two-litre
four-cylinder engine; a capacity that was considered quite large at the time for
such a small car. Independent suspension all round meant the 2002 was a tidy
handler, to say the least, yet still managed to ride better than just about any
other small car of the time.
The 2002's are 2 door coupes with pillarless
front windows, hence the slender roof pillars, large glass areas and sleek
overall dimensions.
Leo and his son are sitting on worthwhile investments with their 2002's. Leo's
red 2002 was fully restored about 9 years ago and his son's blue 2002 about 6 years ago.
These models were originally built in 1974, so this year they are about 28 years
old (they were classified as vintage cars at 25 years). Due to their age, it is
becoming increasingly difficult to find parts for these relatively rare cars
(especially parts at a reasonable price!) so evidently, restoring both the
2002's were not easy jobs. With Leo's expertise however, the finished products
are close to immaculate collector's cars.
Swiss Motors for 25
Years
Since
the establishment of Swiss Motors, two and a half decades have passed.
For
about the first decade, the company was located on Hector street where Leo
rented a unit. Then about 15 years ago he bought land on Howe street and built
his own unit. This is where the company is located today.
