Was the BCR a limited run from BMW? Specifically the Randy Mamola version, as the later red/white/blue paint job is hideous, so that doesn't count
When I was looking for mine I saw a replica, 'replica' where a standard 1100 had been made to look like the Mamola rep. The seller claimed it was cheaper to insure than the real thing as well?? I see the American's boxer cups were numbered and a little certificate handed out.
Just wondering if the BCR is destined to become a collectable classic or not.

I may be wrong but I recall hearing there was originally 225 Mamola BCR's in the UK in total

Only the red, white and blue ones

I think so but only when it has been completely forgotten about, say after hell freezes over

But - they are hideous!
I wouldn't buy a slack-handful of BCRs (of any year) in lieu of krugerrands or pork-belly futures - to be honest........
