GUIDE PRICE: £120,000 - £140,000 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) ‘RA-2-49’ originally sold to Fritz Moller and campaigned in DTM / 24 hour races at Spa + Nürburgring In 2012, ‘RA-2-49’ sustained fire damage so was eventually taken to BWM expert, Ton Vink of Vink Motorsport It was decided, with advice from Matter, to turn RA-2-49 into a benchmark 'Group A' 635 utilising a replacement bodyshell Bosch Motorsport built the engine to modern standards. 320bhp and 400Nm of torque are reported A couple of years ago this car was entered into the competitive Peter Auto series and finished 2nd after a spin in the wet whilst leading by 25 seconds Supplied with its FIA HTP (Class CT40 valid until 31/12/2030), well-engineered and offering a gateway into some of the best racing in Europe Silverstone Auctions are delighted to offer this BMW 635 CSI Group A car to the market. Originating from BMW Motorsport in 1984, ‘RA-2-49’ was originally sold to Herr Fritz Möller who campaigned the car in certain DTM events for three years from 1984-1986. He also entered some endurance events including the 24 hour races at Spa and the Nurburgring. The car then had multiple owners and ended up with Michael Bonk Motorsports in around 2005 as he and his father were mechanics for Fritz Möller back in the DTM days. MBM restored the chassis but the car was subsequently sold to Joseph Kolliker, who completed the restoration in 2011. Sadly, in 2012 the car was heavily fire damaged in a workshop blaze and, a as result, it sat untouched for many years until it was later purchased as a project car. After doing much research, the new owner decided to enlist the services of the world-renowned BMW Motorsport expert Ton Vink of Vink Motorsport in Holland and it wasn't long before ‘RA-2-49’ was on its way to Amsterdam in search of a new chapter. After careful deliberation and due to the fire damage, the previous accident damage and the original alloy roll-cage still being part of the car, it was decided to enlist the original BMW Body Experts at Matter Motorsport for some advice on the best way forward. The experts at Matter, with the new owners consent and on the advice of Ton Vink, finally decided to replace the body and start fresh from the bottom up with one simple aim - to make RA-2-49 a world-class benchmark for Group A 635s whilst simultaneously showcasing the skills of Vink Motorsport. In terms of the power unit, it was decided to enlist BMW engine experts Bosch Tuning, who basically renewed the complete engine using modern techniques and knowledge which has resulted in an amazing 320bhp and 400Nm of wonderful torque. The gearbox has been fully rebuilt using brand new homologated internals from Samsonas and the LSD has also enjoyed a rebuild with complete new internals. Intrax dampers were decided upon for their performance (not their cost!) and brand-new period brake callipers fitted all round. Once finished, a couple of years ago, the 635 was campaigned in its first and only event in the very competitive Peter Auto Series and was leading by 25 seconds until a rain shower caused a spin, however, second place was secured, impressive to say the least first time out. Supplied with a set of six wheels and its FIA HTP (valid until 31/12/2030), this well-engineered Touring Car would undoubtedly be competitive in the right hands offering its next lucky owner a gateway into some of the best historic motorsport in Europe.
