Only 178 BMW 319/1s were ever built. The few available today cost 230,000 euros - more than a Ferrari. Andreas Mooser is lucky enough to own one of these vintage models. He picked up his after it was damaged in a car crash, and spent 14 years restoring the engine and the body. Today, Andreas and his car take part in vintage vehicle trips. He drives the car himself to such events. That's because he thinks cars - even vintage models - are made for the road.
