Basic information and history

Offer something truly unique for your collection! This 1980 BMW E30 Mini , called the BMW Alpha junior car , is a rare vehicle built in the 80s in Krakow, Poland. These miniature cars were sold exclusively through car dealers when buying a new BMW, making the model an unusual and sought-after rarity for enthusiasts.

This example has a verified odometer reading of only 11,926 kilometers . It has only had 2 owners : the car dealership and the current seller, who found the car hidden in a storage room at a former BMW dealer. According to the seller's information, the registration number may be serial for the production itself.

The car is powered by a Honda 2.2 hp engine with a two-speed gearbox, reverse, and pull start. Fun fact: These junior cars bring back nostalgic memories – the seller fell in love as a child when his neighbor drove around in one just like it.
