Barn Find rare 70s BMW CS Coupe survivor car untouched for 38 years - will it run? Jonny Smith heads to the picture postcard seaside village of Saundersfoot in Wales to meet a charming chap who bought a 1970 BMW 2800 CS coupe (aka the E9 model, what went on to become the 3.0 CSL and Batmobile on the race tracks) and drove it no more than a year before putting it into storage. That was 38 years ago.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
The story of how Gor Couser bought it, why he never really drove it, and how they both ended up in Wales from London is a fascinating one. Will Jonny get the straight six engine to fire up? That would be telling, but BMW guru Tony Chamberlain (aka www.tonybmw.co.uk the creator of the Can of Hope) came along to kindly help.
