That's great!  I have had the joy of driving 02's for over 50 years.  So many great memories.

 

Me too...and I still get a big grin every time I get behind the wheel of a 2002...

50 years ago today, my 1600 was assembled in Munich.  Granada red, black interior, imported to Hoffman motors.  Purchased by a professor at Cornell University and then sold to me in 1985.  It was the first car I ever bought. (And is still my favorite car to drive!)  After 2 rebuilds of the body and paint, it still looks (and drives), pretty good.

Wonderful to see it here, certainly a thrill.........

In 1985, I paid $1100 for it.  Not much to look at but the mechanicals were great. (And still are pretty good). Other than regular maintenance, the only things I've put in are a new radiator, alternator, and guibo.  Motor is the same as it was 50 years ago.  And I loved to take it home with me!

 

This pic is about 5 years ago before the E30 basketweaves.

In a sad bit of irony, 2 years ago today I also lost my co-pilot Renner, pictured here when he was only a year old.  We ha a lot of fun cruising in that car together.
