    4 years ago it was Chamonix; hence the blue seats.

    FYI - VIN 1850001 started in Feb '68.

    Ah! Your colour sticker refers to the oil filler cap then? (lol)

    FYI - the '68 RHD license plate WCX designates the car was originally registered in Huddersfield, UK. Looks like it has brought some British racing rust with it!

    What's the brown stuff on the inside and bottom edge of the fender if it's not rust?

    Here's a pic from BMW's Colour & Upholstery Combinations brochure dated Jan '72. These are the only combinations shown for the 2002 models. For the life of me I cannot make out the colour of 50/39 & 43/39 from the brochure - it looks black, but not as black as 88/92, so maybe it's supposed to be blue? S numbers are cloth, and K numbers are vinyl/leatherette The Taiga '73 I once had, had a black cloth interior.

    http://www.coupeking.com/product_id-338.html Peter Sisk...... has a Touring Supplement Manual, although it does look to be in German though. I have an early Touring Supplement Manual (in English) dated 8/71; it's seen good use but is complete. If you need let me know.

    Actually his group was the Wailers (not Whalers). Here's a pic of him sitting on a BMW (?) - not an '02 though.

    However, assuming a two-lane road - most people drive & hug the centre stripe, so, you can hug the kerb side and look along the inside of the vehicle infront. In the country with curvy roads, same idea and really not a problem. You can blast past cars on a right curve where the LHD cars can't see! I drove LHD in the UK for the most part, and (lucky I guess) ended up with a RHD car to bring over here. You just need to be more aware of what is going on around you, which, you should be anyway.

    74tii

    02Les replied to Sooner's topic in Cars for Sale/Wanted

    As I pointed out on my post in the main area, Select Classics/442stang/Jon Kirkegaard acquired the green tii with most of the flaws you see. My point was, he bought a car for around $5k, straightened out the nose panel, new tyres and downgraded the wheels, some mech work and repainted it its original colour. Then priced the car at $20k. I find that one hell of mark up, and very typical of backstreet car sales. Also wrong about the car - front fender reflectors mounted backwards, driver door dropped (door trim does not line up with trim either side). rear bumper needs the ends of both corner pieces bolted to the rear quarter panels (then the bumper will sit level), dome light missing and front & rear strut top covers missing. For $20k I would expect all the flaws corrected including removing ALL the overspray. Select Classics could have done all that for very little outlay on their part, and the car would have looked closer to a $20k car rather than the S10k car it looks now. One has to wonder if the guy has rose coloured glasses, and honestly does not see clearly.

    Though I admit to smoking, the car lighter has never been used.

    A week or so ago, I downloaded some info on installing a 32/36 Weber. It mentions Connect electric choke & idle cutoff valve to a 12v ignition switch activated power source. NOTE: do not connect to + side of the ignition coil No clue why not but that's what it said. I have attached (hopefully) the doc - see page 2 item 8.

    Assume all Euros were the same and not just the UK. My Touring has no gear shift stencil nor switch lettering. The knobs have the required icon on them. Don't know if Euro switch knobs are available, but they just screw onto the switch to make an easy changeout. Click on the pics and you can make out the icons (just!).

    And here's a few more.

    As noted in my earlier post, the car was on ebay May '09 by a Seller from NJ. Most of the flaws, (paint over-spray, missing ss driver side rocker trim, driver door "dropped", missing shock covers and cockeyed rear bumper with pre-74 overriders) were part of the car then. Not siding with the Select Classics; I thought they were a cowboy outfit when I first heard of them early last year. They seem to be trying to make a quick flip here for the cost of paint, front spoiler & downgraded wheels. Anyway, here's some pics from the May '09 auction, when the car appeared to be Jadegrün outside and Amazonasgrün on the inside.

    The car was on Ebay back in May (buy it now for $4850), from a Seller in Andover, NJ. The paint over-spray was evident then, so one has to wonder what "Select Classics" actually did to the car apart from straighten out the nose dent, screw up the headliner, and remount the front fender reflectors backwards. A nice little earner as we Brits would say.

    Driven around 40,000 on the Touring since buying it 1986. Longest trip just over 3200 visiting V@V this May. Driven 4000 on the Beater (owned since Jun '08). Longest trip just over 3200 visiting V@V this May.

    The pair I removed from my '76 parts car looked just like your picture. Nice and ready to be used again someday.

    So, from the parts book.......... US 1600-2 - no brake booster up to VIN 1563747. However, it seems a remote brake booster "kit" was available, also up to VIN 1563747. Thus, I guess you could order your early 1600-2 with or without a remote booster. From 1563748, US 1600-2s were fitted with an early style "fixed" booster up to VIN 1567863. Then the current (?) booster from 1567864.
  22. 02Les
    Early 1600 & (I think) very early 2002s had a single remote booster. Same one that is used on all RHD '02s.
