Munich, Germany. October 22, 2002. It marks the end of a 50-year odyssey: the
BMW 328 Mille Miglia Coupe with which Fritz Huschke von Hanstein and Walter
Bäumer won the 1940 Mille Miglia has found its way back to Munich. On the
occasion of a press conference, which was followed by a road excursion, the
model was handed over to BMW Group Mobile Tradition by its former owner,
American classic car enthusiast and collector Jim Proffit. It has taken part in
numerous Concours d'Elegances, historic car races and even in the Mille Miglia
contests since 17 years ago when Proffit discovered and restored it. Proffit
and the BMW Group have now negotiated the return of this exceptional
competition car, a true milestone in the history of BMW. "There's hardly
another pre-war model that has defined the BMW brand to the same degree as this
coupe. That is why we are particularly delighted to welcome it back to Munich
after such a long absence," said Holger Lapp, Head of the BMW Group Mobile
Tradition.
