Anyone have an interest in a 1959 Borgward?

My brother recently inherited 2 of them, a 1959 2 seater coupe like the picture above, and one station
wagon about the same year, both with white paint. Both ran when parked back in 1986, believe that's
the year my brother mentioned. Located in Hays ks.

2. Adorable German car. Never heard of it.

85 HP. Has a rear swing axle. Love to see pictures.

3. I see one on ebay

Looks the same, around $20k
Curious if it’s a flat 4 engine, some had that setup

I like the looks of the truck

4. Guessing that the one his brother has is not the one shown in the picture

The poster said neither had been moved since 1986 when they were parked, while the one pictured looks fully restored

5. "Ran when parked " Wow - that's rarity. I hope he can find some Borgward freaks to snap them up.

7. could you point me to a...

Borgward dealer with a service department where i could get a pre-purchase inspection? Are all the dashboard electronics functional?

10. Damn, that sounds pretty cheap.

11. Think he took the first offer he got since he had no money in them

Guess the wagon was a bad rust bucket with missing engine parts. 30 years of sitting on a farm,
mice & rats ate up the interiors & wiring. Body was decent on the coupe though.
