This sad Malaga example is for wishful thinkers.  Unless it finds an owner like stymee:

 

The seller might be able to eek out a few more bucks for this car, but I seriously doubt the car will be restored.  I believe it will be parted, if not now, a few years from now when an over-optimistic buyer realizes what he's bought: rust in the shape of a tii.  It looks like stymee's but without the shiny topside!

 

Regards,

That's what worries me about this 73 Colorado . . Maybe not as bad as stymees but still some concerning spots.

Sorry for the delay guys. I anticipate approving the listing today and then I believe it will go live in a day or two.  FYI -  Listing on BAT is a process and it takes time and focus for anyone thinking of going this route.  I'll update you once I hear back from BAT that it's up on their site.  TR

Kronos gets a prize!  I think its only been up for a few minutes. Let the questions begin.  Thanks everyone for your help getting to this stage and it will be interesting to see what the market is for a very original tii with some rust.  TR

Then I suppose there's this from Hagerty for a 1973 while 74 cars are slightly lower.

OK as I suspect you know my tii sold for $11,450.  The buyer is in Oregon and is a "car guy" who knows German cars.  It sounds like he plans to make a driver's tii vs. a show queen so I'm happy with the car's likely future.  Very sorry to see it go but it's the right time and hopefully I won't regret selling it too much.... :-)   TR

PS.  Listing on BAT was a bit of a pain in the neck but I like the fact that it's focused on serious car people vs. other auction/sale sites.  From my conversation with the buyer I believe the transaction will go smoothly.  TR

    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
