Information
|
The
rare New Class convertibles were built
for BMW by Baur (today, IVM
Automotive) as a true cabriolet and as a Targa (roll-bar)
model in 1600 and 2002
styles.
Mechanically,
the convertibles are identical to the coupes, except they are two
inches shorter than the coupes.
Baur's
Targa version of the 02 series was introduced in 1971 for the
European market. Few were imported into North America. The Targa model had a
sunroof and a convertible rear windscreen.
The
Targa had a built-in roll bar as a safety feature. The rear portion of the top folded down and the midsection was
removable. The extra "hardware" added about 110 pounds to the
vehicle's weight.
