For decades, the iconic roadster driven by Elvis Presley was doing nothing but gathering rust in storage. But now the rock 'n' roll legend's former BMW has finally been restored and has gone on display in a Munich museum dedicated to famous German cars.

The King's original BMW 507 roadster has joined the classic car exhibits in Bavaria's Motorworld museum and events space, located in an impressive former railway repair factory in Munich, the same city where BMW has its headquarters.
