BMW 507 Color: Papyrus (White) (release original color) Interior: Leather Blue/Cream Floor Carpet Engine: V8, 110 kW/150 HP Registration: Sep 1958 Mileage: 24,300 km Only 252 examples of the hand-built BMW 507 were produced worldwide between 1956 and 1959, of which 34 were exported to the United States. Owned by celebrities from Elvis Presley to racing driver John Surtees, the 507 became the most famous BMW of the post-war period, a sublime combination of advanced technology and elegant style.

You won't be distracted by anything unnecessary on the dashboard, because as the owner of this roadster it's all about the joy of driving.
