The Evo 2 represents in the history of the M3 E30 one of the sportiest versions, with an engine developing 220bhp, and aerodynamic appendages intended for competition. It is also one of the rarest because it only 500 were made.
As can be seen from the original service logbook, this beautiful Evo 2 was sold new in August 1988, by Garage BMW Jean Huchet in Rennes, to a local businessman as a company car. The latter then registered it in his name and used the M3 until the beginning of 1991, mainly to make round trips between Brittany and Paris. As its maintenance book shows, the car was regularly serviced at BMW Rennes.
In 1991, the manager of the Lohéac museum, Loïc Monnier, purchased this Evo 2 from BMW Lorient, who confirmed that it was the only Evo 2 sold new in Rennes. It had 60,200 km on the clock then, and at the time, for its aesthetic presentation to be perfect, some elements were repainted. At the beginning of the 1990s, Loïc Monnier used his M3 for his daily drives, and then as a second car. He confirmed that it had always been used with care, the warm-up time being scrupulously respected and that it had never been used intensively or on the track. After a decade of regular use, it was exhibited at the Manoir de l'Automobile and restarted regularly, which explains its beautiful original condition. The car now displays just under 186,000 km and is in a rare state of preservation consistent with its careful use and storage. In its beautiful original Nogaro Silber color, the car will be sold with its user and service manuals.
Loïc Monnier, who arrived at the museum at the same time as the group B, will turn a page, and take a well-deserved retirement. This is the only reason he is parting with this beautiful M3 Evo 2, wishing that its new owner would take care of it, as he has done for three decades, and keep it in this beautiful original condition.

Launched in spring of 1955, the KR200 version of the famous Messerschmitt replaced the KR175. It received an increase in displacement, and a slight increase in power. Available as a standard version, with a plexiglass bubble or as a roadster, it was again the convertible version which was the most luxurious, benefiting from a more opulent interior and additional chrome trims.
The example on offer was delivered new in Sweden in 1957 and became part of a German collection of microcars in 1997. It was at the end of 2016 that its current owner acquired it. A demanding enthusiast, he then embarked on a meticulous restoration which was completed in 2020 in a specialized Italian workshop, documented by a large set of photos. The body was stripped bare and repainted with a ruby red lacquer. The soft top has been redone with high-quality canvas, made of three layers and offering excellent resistance to light, rain and cold. The upholstery, with a nice patina, has been intentionally preserved. Finally, the mechanicals, running gear and the electrical system have also benefited from an overhaul. In order to complete this quality restoration, while retaining the original configuration, a luggage rack accommodating an equipped picnic basket was installed on the engine cover. We also noted that a period user manual is present. The new owner of this distinctive machine will not miss anything to navigate secondary roads, with a bucolic picnic spot in his sights.
