Thanks Richard! I took custodianship October last year.
It's a lovely car and was in a 'carcoon' since the 90s until recommissioning during covid - one family owner from new. Story goes its the '72 Melbourne Motor Show car. Very original down to the original seat material etc. Good fun!

Getting our cars ready to attend midAmerican 2002 fest in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, we are caravanning with a group of cars from Austin leaving on Wednesday meeting at Crystal Bridges Museum on Thursday midday…my grandson Breyden Clark is driving our fjord blue Baur targa and Tory and I are driving our Ceylon Gold tii…

 

And two pictures of what I’ve been work on…and one of my next 2002 project…

That’s a great fog and spot combo.  How is the red stop light attached?   Did you find a way to not drill the bumper?

On the Ceylon Gold tii I drilled the bumper, because the rear bumper has European brackets and it’s only about 3/8 of an inch off the body on a 72 …for my 73. I made a bracket like that picture that’s attached.

I’d darken the contrast and darken generally the background.  Highlight that great car…!

 

You can also create colour for the car and IMG_3408.thumb.jpeg.39865a50295f9895b71b4c45c25fa0c7.jpegB&W for the rest.  Problem is that your car is not a high colour like blue or red….  But it’s a great effect.  Snapseed is an app to do that on the iPhone.  Probably Samsung, etc as well.

The careful viewer will also see Norma, the E30, through the front and rear windshields.

I can’t get a collector car close enough, but I’ll send a picture of my newest one soon. In the meantime, did not want you all to miss this live feed from Halemaumau Crater, Kilauea Mountain, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. About 3 miles away!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
