tires and wheels Barn find #2 and #3

[M3M3]

love the e12! Early hood bump and rear gas fill car!

How are you finding these?

[dlhoovler]

Oh, my. Beauties, both of them. So rare, too, between the Ceylon and those wheels--and if anything the E12 is rarer anymore. Amazing. Somebody should write up this whole barn-find story--all three of them--for the Roundel or another mag. Mike? Rob? One of you was heading to Minnesota anyway, right? 

 

Steve, I'd say that your getting them is very well-deserved, with all you've done for the old-BMW community. Sounds like you don't plan to keep them, but you'll get them in fine fettle for the next owners.

The Tii was a local customer.  The blue square light car Darryl was approached at a car show he runs.  These 2 today are from my friend Chris Orr who Ive bought cars from before. He only collects nice stuff and he knows Ill buy any of his stuff pretty much site unseen because he doesnt sell junk.. So he calls me when he has interesting things

Thanks Dave . I love them and want to keep everything but Im more excited to see someone else get these and start enjoying them,. Its so fun for me just to be able to have them for a short while and work on them.. Plus its really great being able to spend time with a buddy who is like minded and just fix these up

Nice 530i.  My second BMW was a 75 530i.  Great car, but I hope you don't need a/c & never,never,never let it overheat.

that's what all them greens is for

[rover1]

they look like kept under car cover and garaged. never slept outside

[Darryl]

Cars in Minnesota are either rusted away and gone forever or are garage queens... All three, the Tii, round light car and 530 are in really nice condition... We are super pumped to get them back on the road to new owners... First up, the tii... I think...

All I ever find in barns is old mouse poop!
