99 Hartge H5

Stunning Oxford Green over Sand Beige leather Hartge H5 converted E39 528i BMW 5 series, 3 previous owners, 56k, full service history & 12 months MOT.
 
1 of the 2 known to still exist of the original 4 produced Hartge H5’s converted by Birds Garage in 1999 for a client who never took delivery for whatever reason so was purchased by Birds themselves who then demo'd the car before sold to a chap local in 2001 who then owned it for 18 years before selling the vehicle into trade where it was picked up by Stone Cold Classics who did a sterling job performing a minor restoration of the car, fast forward to 2025 after numerous auction appearances we were approached by a client of ours in October to go and view this vehicle at Craner Classics where a deal is done.
 
The already lovely vehicle is then immediately booked in with Polar Dry Ice for a full engine bay, underside and wheel arch clean with any corrosion killed & their 6-8 year under sealant treatment applied, followed by a complete service & health check by the legendary Birds Garage themselves and a paint correction, interior detail and 5 year ceramic coating from ATD VehicleAppearance Specialists.
 
Since then the vehicle has covered a whopping 3 miles! So due to the clients other commitments prioritising his time being spent elsewhere & not with the car the decision to let it go has been regrettably made hence why this rare opportunity to own this massively appreciating rarity has arisen.
 
As you can see it is truly breathtaking and a sure fire, usable, appreciating asset at that.
