Hi Ken,
This one is in Australia. Not sure if the shipping quote is real though.

Odd that the so-called new Owner has kept the previous Dealer's advertising plates on.
Dealer that did the work (incl pulling out the dinged nose panel) was Del Mar Auto llc, Venice Beach.
Then I guess you've seen this by Steve (it's a couple of years old)
Renown Steering wheels
Scott from Renown sent us a wheel this week so I thought Id post my thoughts on his product.
I got the silver Monaco with perforated leather.
I’m going to admit I was a little skeptical of what Id end up with at this price point. The wheel weighs 2.6 ounces with horn button. I physically tried to twist and flex the wheel in my hands and laid it on the floor and put my weight on the center of the wheel to see what it would do. No ill effects.
If you’ve ever been in an R32 this perforated leather appears to be identical to what VW uses.
Stitching is done well and is smooth. I don’t know anything about stitching material so I can’t comment on what is used and of its quality but to the layman’s eye its fine.
Scott may be able to give you more specifics on that. This is strictly personal preference but I think on next wheel I will get the black spokes. This is an attractive wheel in all regards but black would suit me better from an aesthetics point of view.
My only other complaint, and this is minor is the installation instructions. On his site he suggests using a zip tie to attach the horn wire. My preference would be to simply drill a small hole in your wheel hub and attach that wire with a self tapping screw for a more permanent professional install.
Bottom line is, at this price point... This is a nice product that seems strong. I’m sure some of you have seen the Youtube video of cheap aftermarket wheels flexing and deforming.. This does not appear to have any of those characteristics.

I think it was non-US cars only

Here's my Touring:
Here's a typical RHD set-up:
In the past 3~4 months over 2 dozen 1600-2s have been on Ebay or Craigslist. I guess the increase in asking prices is bringing them out of the woodwork
As it's fffffffreezing outside, I thought I would assemble this kit I got umpteen years ago. However, it has no instructions! (bought as an opened box thing)
Does anyone out there have the assembly instructions tucked away that they could copy/scan for me?
I guess putting it together is mostly logical, but it would be nice to have the instructions.
I should have guessed.
Do you know why there is (was) a driver side glass & a passenger side glass, as I can't see a difference, and the seal (frame) holding the glass in, is the same for both sides?
Interesting.
The info that I have also states 422 tiis were manufactured in 1971.
Noting that 31 December 1971 was a Friday, I wonder if all the book-keepers left early that day for a brew or three, and then returned Monday to finish the records
Hi Barney,
Ok, I see why it sits out a little far now, but it is also too low. The bumper should line up (horizontally) with the knee trim on the quarter panel, door and fender.
Love Türkis. You don't see many.
Here's what I have for '71 manufactured US tiis. Bear in mind that the dates are what the Owners-Sellers stated.
2760007 - 20 Oct 1971
2760018 - 20 Oct
2760043 - ? Aug '71
2760048 - 21 Oct
2760051 - 1 Sep
2760076 - 1 Dec
2760096 - 3 Dec
2760124 - 2 Dec
2760156 - 17 Dec
2760321 - 28 Dec
2760370 - 29 Dec
2760403 - 30 Dec
2760422 is the last one built 1971
A total cluster f! Supposedly manufacture started in August '71, so it was a real slow Aug through beginning of Dec.
Good question.
The coolant & battery stickers were not on the early cars, and, no oil sticker either according to the pics that I have. I'll have to investigate when they started to appear.
Tyre pressure sticker was to the left of the fuse box and the fuse sticker to the right of the fuse box in the plenum by the windshield. For USA only were Emission & Compliance stickers in the passenger side plenum by the windshield.
It's an unfortunate sign of the times Sherman. Those of us that have been around the faq for a long time remember when most Sellers were, shall we say, respectful of others. That ship has sailed.
Soon I'll be shedding some of my parts stash and wonder what the heck should I do?
