This BMW 2800 CS was rebuilt as a race car approximately 10 years ago and has been fitted with a raft of upgraded parts. It is powered by a 3.2-litre inline-six, producing a reported 250rwhp, paired with a five-speed ZF manual transmission. The seller notes that car retains its build and compliance plates and that it would be possible to revert it back to road use. It is said to have been parked for around five years and will require a service if it is to be used on the track. The car is finished in blue with white decals, and the stripped-out cabin is home to twin black bucket seats. It rides on a set of three-piece 15-inch ‘Image’ wheels, fitted with Michelin tyres. Equipment includes a roll cage, a MOMO steering wheel, and a manual brake bias adjuster. A USB stick containing build and race photographs accompanies the sale.

Specific notes from the seller include: scuffs and scratches over the bodywork resulting from its use as a race car, spots where the bodywork has started to crack, damage on the bottom lip of the front air dam, and cracking where the sunroof was located. The seller also notes that the dash and interior have been modified to fit the roll cage, the gauges are aftermarket, the centre console is custom, the original interior parts are in average condition, the door cards are missing their armrests and trim, and there is a small oil leak that reportedly comes from the timing cover. A Group 2 body kit was installed and painted approximately 10 years ago. The power steering system is not currently connected as the belt has been removed. The seller reports that a fluid service is now required. This E9-generation BMW 2800 CS was converted to race car specification around 10 years ago, which included fitting a host of replacement parts and a Group 2 body kit, as well as applying various decals as a tribute to its ‘Team Gitanes’ racing counterpart. Whilst a fresh service is now advised before the car returns to its natural position on the track, once this is complete, it would make a superb weekend plaything as well as a competitive entrant at historic racing events.
