Hirschmann jewel tip a-pillar antenna


Redtail

Recommended Posts

That's a good question! The red-tip antenna appeared to be superseded by "other-tip" models at least by 1974 (square taillight cars). I'm curious to learn when it was produced and sold -- recognizing, of course, that NOS examples could have lingered far, far beyond the end of actual production.

Regards,

I have a Hirschman red tip antenna on my tii. It was not original, I scored it at an automotive flea market in Germany and shipped it back. I have seen them for sale in the parts for sale section on this forum. As for reproduction red tips, check out post #90 on this post.

Does anyone have a blue tip (Bosch) antenna?

Thanks for that, I actually have a bag of the 'ceramic christmas tree' red tips sitting beside me right now. They are pretty close to the original, but not exact and I would rather have the 'jewel' type if possible.

 

I checked the German website again and it turns out shipping for the 10 euro tip would be 52 euro  :blink:

    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
