Price: $10000

Location: Red Deer, Alberta, Canada

Description:

THE CAR IS NOT MINE- PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT IT!

 

I came across this listing today:

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/red-deer/1972-bmw-2002tii-sedan/1346224739?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

 

Apparently includes a letter by BMW indicating the car to be the first Tii model imported into USA.

 

Sadly, the car has seen better days....

Well....that just means it should be VIN 2762630, the first U.S.-spec 1973 tii, identified and shown previously by Mike S., if I recall.

 

If this was VIN 2760001, the first U.S.-spec tii, period, I’d assume there might be a premium attached to the car.  But I find it hard to believe the first 1973 model is more valuable than, for instance, the last 1972 model....

 

If I recall from the last photos I saw on this forum, the car is more-or-less in pieces.

 

Nonetheless, let’s hope someone finally restores this car.  I wish someone would request Archives’ data on this car — I’m wearing out my welcome — I’m guessing it was manufactured in early October 1972.

 

Regards,

 

Steve
