BMW 500cc Rennsport sidecar racer 1956 Dutch Grand Prix Zandvoort racing photo

Description

A superb and rare photo of the
B.M.W. 500cc Rennsport factory sidecar racing machine
of 1956. It is the
M253 “Zweibolzer”
(a.k.a. “two bolter”, because of the two bolts that hold the valve cover on each cylinderhead). This magnificent machine delivered a power output of 50 bhp at 8,500 r.p.m.
It is a rare, gorgeous image of this rare machine, as most (later) BMW racing machines featured the RS 54 style four bolt valve cover mounts; and they were equipped with the Earles type leading link fork at the front together with the swingarm at the rear (instead of plunger rear suspension). It is a gorgeous image of the rare Rennsport Baumuster 253 Zweibolzer 500cc factory racer. With one of the successors
Walter
Zeller
finished as
2
nd
in the 500cc world championship
behind
John
Surtees
on a 500cc M.V. Agusta four!
It is a very nice
non period
photo that reflects a wonderful era of BMW’s rich history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 12" (ca.20 x 30 cm).
