I’m on the last stages of a full rotisserie restoration of one of these. What a project!

 

Fantastic!  I'd love to know more about your car.

Inspected and registered with NOS, vintage 1967 Texas plates. Still tweaking the fitment of doors and windows but it’s almost done. It sure is good to be driving it again.

Papa always wanted to help with the car and he was adamant about wanting a Talbot mirror on the fender. I found an NOS mirror in Germany and let him pay for it as his contribution. Last night, the Talbot was installed as the final part on the car. It is ready for the road.

I have many folks to thank for their help with car, but Barney Toler went above and beyond with his generosity these last 2 years. I am blessed with great friends and I am grateful. 

 

It’s time to drive.

Thanks everyone.  It has been a labor of love and I am very happy how it all turned out. I drove it to the BMWCCA O-Fest last week and again this weekend at Terry Sayther's 02BerFest in the Texas Hill Country.  I got home last night and ran the #s... 4560 miles in two weeks! 

 

I have some things to address, but nothing that kept me off the road.  The cars runs beautifully and I look forward to many more miles ahead. I know Papa would be very proud.

    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
