tires and wheels Followed A Really Nice Tii Today

[LJtii]

Coming back from grabbing a cup of coffee, my wife and were surprised to see what looked like a clone of our '73 coming up behind us. Since we were in a Ford at that point, he didn't know we were admiring his car. We let him go by, made note of his license plate ( "B4MY911") and followed him through La Jolla down towards Pacific Beach. "He's heading to Carl at La Jolla Independent," I figured. Sure enough, he turned in. Once there, I talked with him and one of the owners of LJI, Chris. It turns out the BMW was being delivered for a sale to one of their customers. It was a nicely-restored Malaga '73 Tii, with black upholstery, a sunroof, and alloy wheels. The sales price was in the $35K range. If you needed a rough estimate of what a really-nice looking Tii is bringing today, here is one confirmed sales price. Sorry I didn't get a photo...

I hate those days when I didn't listen to my inner BMW and ended up driving something else instead ......

 

Cheers,

Yeah, it seems more & more the 02 comes out only on planned drives these days, rather than errands.

I was thinking….It could be ME!!

 

Then I realized I don't live in San Diego, and it was raining here in the Bay Area and the tii was sadly in the garage under her cover..

Yeah it was dumping rain all day today and yesterday.  I was about to bring out mine yesterday because it looked nice outside.  I guess Im glad I was too lazy to deal with no heater on a cold morning

Some may shudder at this but I've been driving my tii every day for the last 4 months, including in the rain. And it lives outside and not too far from the ocean. The rust is minimal with no rot, but I do plan to pull it off the road in a few years to fully restore it. It is too much fun to keep cooped up anyway!

 Yea I know, but it's just too much fun! I drive mine 40 miles round trip to and from work rain or shine!

She's got some body rust but none in the vital areas. Really enjoy that she's a driver not a show queen.
