1952 “Wagner Special” BMW Racer

No chassis number available

This car appeared on the grid at the 1952 Eifelrennen at the famous Nürburgring complex in Germany. It finished 5th, in the middle of a collection of BMW-powered race cars. This is a unique opportunity to own a contemporary racer to the Veritas racer — and at a comparably bargain price.

This example is a “one-off,” totally unique, hand-built race car; the only example extant. The bodywork on the “Wagner Special” was fashioned from surplus U.S. aircraft wing-tanks; the car was built at Honoré Wagner’s uncle’s workshop in Luxembourg. With a clear history, this is a great opportunity for a vintage race collector or enthusiast.
