1934 BMW 315 with a body made in the fifties by students from the Meisterschule Kaiserslautern. It looked familiar to me and it's indeed featured in a book about special BMWs.
Yes, built in 1957. One more point for you.
Today the car is in the Volante Museum near Freiburg sitting next to a bunch of Vanvooren-bodied cars. It is planned to be restored in the next 3 years
And it is now on its way to the restoration workshop.
"-Will you bring it back to its first design?
- Oh no! The original design of the 315 was quite nice - but let's say a bit boring. No doubt, his unique second coupe design and has to be preserved."
Work in progress at the Kaiserslautern school:
The car is still under restauration and was presented at the centennial exhibition of the Schauinsland hillclimb record last weekend.
According to the current owner its name was BMW 315 "Schauinsland".
