sorry the museum is Hockenheim....I would like to see some pictures of the interior and the engine of your car (maybe also the sign with the VIN). Never saw interior pics (seats, shifter and that stuff)

Translation (might not be right in every part, 'cause english is my foreign language
Small, light, agile, fast
Against the hidden chamber (or what is "Aservatenkammer" in english??) of the BMW Mobile Tradition also Ali Babas treasure-cave is comparatively poor, and for the first hillclimb-race in Arosa the Munichs brought something rather special out into daylight: the BMW 700 RS, within between 1961 and 1964 drivers like Hans Stuck Sr., Herbert Linge and Alexander von Falkenhausen raced at Rossfeld, Gaisberg and Schauinsland.
The blower-cooled two cylinder flat engine in the back based on the motorblock of the BMW 700, but it is build with a vertical shaft (in german "Königswelle"), which moves the camshafts per chains. It is breathing by two 36-Dell'Orto-carburators and has nearly 70 HP at 8000 rpm - all in a light spaceframe with aluminium-bodywork, independent wheel suspensions and a weight of only 630 kg.
So this little Spider is very agile with much Torque at low rpms at the way uphill. The precision of the steering is remarkable, the driving at all is very neutral, only the brakes could be better.
In finish in Arosa there is only one last question: why isn't the track at least double as long as it is?
