Ref 18: 1961 BMW 700 Racing - FIA papered -
Registration Number: EU registered Chassis Number: 174990
The driving force behind the '700' project was not only the BMW development department but in particular the Viennese BMW importer Wolfgang Denzel, a friend of the then BMW boarch chairman, Dr. Richter-Brohm. Largely on his own initiative, Denzel began to develop a sporty small car for BMW, having had some experience of automobile construction himself. The technical basis was to be provided by the chassis and the engine of the BMW 600. This small four-seater, derived from the Isetta, had remained somewhat unsuccessful due to its unorthodox body, not because of technical shortcomings. Denzel entrusted the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti with the design of the body. In mid January 1958, Denzel then received the official development contract and a body design was developed in his workshops. On July 30th 1958, Denzel presented the finished prototype of the Coupé to the BMW board of directors, as developed by himself in collaboration with Michelotti and, generally speaking, the car's modern, Italian influenced, style was well received.
