Specialist Notes
In 1927, BMW decided to expand its production with cars. They didn’t want to start from zero but by taking over an already stablished manufacturer. The choice fell on a company that had been producing Dixi brand cars since the post-war period. In 1927, thanks to this support, the company managed to produce Austin Seven under license, rebranded as Dixi DA1. The company, in difficult condition, was bought in 1928 by BMW, and from July 1929 the cars were marketed under the Elica brand, renamed DA2. From 1930, a sport version with a roadster bodywork was produced, also intended for competitive use. Produced from 1930 to January 193, the DA3 was built in just 150 examples. Our car was registered new in the Netherland on 06/30/1930, with license plate DZ-07-80. Nothing is known about its past history, although there is a plaque on the dashboard from an international meeting in 1992. Purchased and imported by the current owner in 2016, the car is completely restored. Overall it is in perfect condition. The interior has been redone with modern materials but which reflect the original configuration. The car has its original engine, completely restored.
