I wonder what chassis number it is? I checked their site, nothing up on it yet. Albert Bold’s car (the repaint Pontiac Blue one that sold at auction last year for $2.3mil) is chassis #70059 and was bought by someone in Canada. Wondering if they did a mechanical on it to flip it?
 Anxious to see what number it is. Cheers Dave

A very good presentation. Peter does a great job of explaining the car perfectly. Thanks for posting this one! I’ll have to see what chassis number it is. I think I know it, but need to confirm. I wish I could be as articulate as him during a presentation!
 One commonly misunderstood thing is regarding Elvis owning two of them, when in fact, he didn’t. Peter says he ordered two which isn’t the case and its lore has continued in many stories of 507 history. Chassis #70079 was a demonstrator by BMW and campaigned by Hans Stuck in a few races before Elvis bought it. Elvis bought the car from a dealership owned by Heinrich Gustav Wirth where he explained “I sold the used car to Elvis for $3,750. The factory price was $7,500.” The second car that was associated with Elvis was never owned/registered or ordered by him either, and it wasn’t new. Elvis starred in a movie “Fun in Acapulco” in 1963 with Ursula Andress. He tried to give Ursula a Cadillac convertible as a gift which she refused. She told him if he wanted to give her a gift, she would like the BMW he had in Germany. That car had since been sold years prior, so another white BMW (chassis #70192) was gifted to Ursula. This was given to her in 1963/1964 timeframe after the movie was released. Remember that production ended in 1959 so he could not have ordered this one either . The original owner of that car is known in BMW records as is all the whereabouts of all remaining chassis numbers. Fun stuff learning the history of these cars!  Cheers  Dave

My understanding is that LMC has a more secluded/private/special cars showroom/display area up the stairs, on the second floor. This area is not typically open to the general public. The 507 could be up there instead of on the main floor showroom, or maybe the car is no longer in their possession. I believe a person can occasionally be allowed up there but not without an employee present. Last edited by useless tony; 11-09-2023 at 02:05 PM.

I don't blame anyone for limiting the general publics ability to wander unattended amongst some very rare and valuable cars. If you are ever invited and choose not to attend, I will gladly take your spot
