BMW Glas cars for sale

Post by Scorpionman » Sat 06 Dec 2014, 17:58

While looking at the Fiat 124 that is for sale below I noticed the other cars the seller has for sale.

These BMW's is rather special. SA only cars and should be saved.

BMW took over Glas in 1966. The Glas 1700 competed directly with BMW’s own BMW 1800 which was already being produced and sold in far greater volumes than Glas had achieved. By December 1967 the last Glas 1700 was produced.

With Glas under BMW control, the model enjoyed an afterlife in South Africa where BMW models appeared combining the Frua-designed body of the Glas 1700 with BMW engines and underpinnings, and a BMW front later grafted onto the nose. These cars were branded as the BMW 1800 GL and BMW 2000GL and sold between 1968 and 1973. They were subsequently rebadged as the BMW 1804 and BMW 2004 and continued to be sold in South Africa in 1973 and 1974.

Sorry for the history lesson, but we should look after these cars too. Just like the other SA only cars

Not a big fan of that front end, but the back end is sweet.

Saw this car for sale on Facebook, not a model often seen...

1969 BMW Cheetah

R35000

Now usually the BMW Cheetah is reported to be a Glas 1700, built in Rhodesia, with the expectation that it also had the 1682cc Glas engine, and the numberplate of this car, reinforces the Rhodesian connection.
But the "2000" badging on this car, as well as the BMW M10 engine, suggests this example to be more akin to the later BMW 2000GL or 2000SA.
