R35 purchased new by Borge Persson's Uncle and put in a damp shed 48 years ago with only 1,200Kms on the clock. The machine was produced in 1950 in Eisenach so is technically an EMW rather than a BMW. but these photos present a superb guide of an original machine for restoration purposes. Restoration of this bike is about to be undertaken. The restoration can be followed as it progresses by following this link to Borje's site www.vespa-service.se/bmw.html







Owned and restored by John Halls. This is a very original machine as it was found in the 1990’s in a monastery in Kwa-Zululand and were in had been used by their monks as transport to the local villages. It was ordered and delivered from BMW in June 1935 by a Benedictine Abbey near Munich and then sent to South Africa. Engine and frame numbers are the same the production line records and is one to the oldest R12 still running. The only difference from original spec is that I have added 1936 Art Deco mudguards as they add to the machines lines. It is also a great bike to ride all day without feeling tired ie a true touring machine as it was designed to be.
