The history

For homologation reasons, BMW produced a small series of the 1800 TI limited to 200 units in an enhanced motorsport version and called it the 1800 TISA, with the last two letters standing for ‘special version’. The car was sold exclusively to licensed racing and sports drivers in Europe and the USA and could reach speeds of up to 192 km/h, depending on the gear ratio.

While the BMW 1800 quickly became a successful model in sales, the racing version of the 1800 TI collected sporting laurels by the dozen. In its very first year, 1964, the new BMW touring car dominated the competition at will. 14 victories in 16 races and German circuit champion. BMW also became a benchmark in endurance races and in the European Touring Car Championship. It also took first place in the 12-hour race for touring cars at the Nürburgring in 1964. An unbeaten 126.6 km/h was recorded as the fastest lap, the overall average was 120.9 km/h.

With over thirty years of experience in classic motorsport, race preparation, trackside support, restoration, engine and drive train rebuilds Graber Sportgarage caters for a select clientele of classic sports car owners from around the globe. The origins of "Carrosserie Graber" date back to 1925 when Hermann Graber started as an independent coachbuilder in Wichtrach near Berne. In 1929 a Panhard-Levassor bodied by Graber won first place at the St. Moritz concours d`elegace, wich gave Graber well deserved and valuable publicity. In the 1930`s Graber became world famous for beautiful convertible & coupés designs and creations as well as for his perfect craftmanship. Until his passing in 1970 Hermann Graber had designed and built over 800 bodies on chassis ranging from Alvis, Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Lagonda, Packard, Rolls-Royce to Rover and others. With Hermann Graber`s demise the coachbuilding activity was discontinued, but the mechanical workshop and body shop were carried on by his widow until 1980. From 1980 to 1996 the Graber company was one of a few hand-picked official Ferrari dealers in Switzerland. Futhermore the company was very active in the field of complete restorations of Italian and German sports cars. In 2001 Graber Sportgarage merged with "Oldtimer Reparatur AG" the workshop of Markus Scharnhorst and moved all activities to a bigger and more suitable location in Toffen, near Berne. The main workshop, the showroom as well the head offices are still located in Toffen until today. In 2014 the company opened a second showroom located in the shopping area in Lyssach near Burgdorf in order to get greater exposure of its classic cars it has on sale. In April 2019 the company is happy to have expanded into second, more modern workshop complete with offices and showroom in nearby Münsingen. The new branch will service and repair some of our customer`s classic race cars but will mainly focus on services, repairs and sales of Ferraris of the more recent eras.
