Alain Delon Bmw 507

Elvis Presley, Alain Delon, Ursula Andress, John Surtees, and King Baudouin of Belgium all owned a 507. Manufactured on January 14, 1958, the car is revered as the peak of BMW 's craftsmanship. The chassis number 70110 features a removable hardtop and distinctive factory exhaust tips, making it instantly recognisable.

Alain Delon, John Surtees, Toni Sailer and Ursula Andress are just a few of them. The King of Rock'n'Roll, Elvis Presley, bought a young used car during his GI days in West Germany, which has since been restored and is again owned by BMW. Only a few 507s remain in first.

A rarity Adored by certain personalities (Elvis Presley, Alain Delon and Jean Marais), the 507 had failed to break into the luxury sports market. However, it has since passed straight into the realms of classic stardom and its rarity is rapidly increasing its price to reach today a sum close to 2 million euros. One of 15 507s in black Alain Delon, John Surtees, Toni Sailer and Ursula Andress are just a few of them.

For those who could afford style at any price however, BMW's svelte roadster was the car to be seen in; pop idol Elvis Presley, motorcycling and Formula 1 World Champion John Surtees, film stars Alain Delon and Ursula Andress, skiing champion Toni Sailer, Prince Rainer of Monaco and the Aga Khan all being owners at one time or another.

Regarded as a design triumph by Albrecht Graf von Goertz, the 507's sculpted aluminum body, paired with a 3.2-liter V8 and four-speed manual transmission, aimed to rival the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. However, its steep price tag-more than twice its projected cost-led to limited production and made it a choice only for the elite. Celebrity owners included Elvis Presley, Alain Delon, and Ursula.

However, these enhancements came at a cost, further distancing the 507 from the average consumer. For those with an unyielding commitment to style regardless of the price, the BMW roadster became a symbol of prestige. Notable owners included pop icon Elvis Presley, motorcycling World Champion John Surtees, and film stars Alain Delon, David Carradine, and Ursula Andress, among others.
