1937 BMW 328 Cotura:
Stunning.
Pre war car drivers > heroes!
Hope you like it.
Wikipedia: "Coos van der Tuyn was a Dutch racing driver in the 40s of the 20th century.
He is best known for his own brand remanufactured BMW racing cars. He built at least two BMWs of type 328 (from model years 1937 and 1938) and provided them to its own lightweight body. These cars were known as Cotura RS (Cotura represents Coos van der Tuyn Racing).
The Cotura RS resembled the Frazer-Nash Le Mans replica. That was not illogical, because this model was equipped with the Bristol 2 liter engine, which itself was a descendant of the same BMW 328 engine. The Cotura version of the BMW engine was equipped with some of the Bristol improvements, such as better carburetors."
