By the mid-1960s BMW perceived a market for a smaller two-door version of its four-door 'New Class' executive saloon car. The end product resulted in the 1966 production 1600-2. The larger displacement 2002, directly derived from this model in 1968, would go on to establish a new reputation for BMW as a maker of high-quality affordable performance vehicles which stands today.

As noted in the owners handbook, which includes PDI stamps from a Cypriot dealer who still operates today, this 2002 was delivered new to a Flt Lt Green, on deployment with the RAF in Cyprus in 1972. A UK RHD specification round tail light car, in current ownership for 12 years, it comes with numerous invoices from leading specialists including Jaymic and Jim Stokes including; £4500 for body restoration work (November 2018), £2298 for exhaust work (December 2023) and £1870 for a brake servo overhaul (February 2024) etc. Now presenting in good condition throughout, ABW 222K further benefits from a new footwell carpet set. Finished in Maroon with Black interior, it currently registers a credible c.93,,000 miles (an MoT in 1996 showing 76,000) and is accompanied by aforementioned invoices, owner’s handbook, a selection of old MoTs and Swansea V5c.

Please Note: This vehicle was delivered new to Flt Lt Greer, Not Green as written in the printed catalogue and the Cypriot dealer stamped handbook has been misplaced since the time of consignment however photographs of this are on file.
