A last farewell to my 1600-2

[02Anders]

Hello all,

 

Just thought I would share my last farewell letter to my '66 BMW 1600-2 with you.
She crossed the Atlantic and now lives in the US, so you guys might see her out and about.  If you do, please give her a friendly little tap on the bonnet, and let her know that I still think of her...

Anders    I know how you feel   I sold my little 1600 last  month   I am lucky though, it lives only 3 miles from me    From the last day of last years Bavarian Tour!   

 

 Hope all is well

So, Mike, whatcha gonna bring to Mid America next year?  

 

And Anders, hope your car came to the East or Midwest so I see your 1600 at one of our events--too many 02's on the West coast already ;-)

 

cheers

Anders, beautiful 1600-2! Are you willing to let us know where in the U.S. the car is?

[02Anders]

Thx guys!  - all of you.

Mike - love the pic from Bavaria Tour.  My sweet little AMY and two of my very best mates assembled in one pic - well done!  

The Derby grey '66 BMW 1600-2 now lives close to Boston.  She's with a good owner - that much I know.  I hope he'll bring her out every so often, so all of you 02-enthusiasts on the east coast get to enjoy her.  She is in my humble opinion - and yes, I do realise that I might be every so slightly biased...   - by a fair margin the best, most authentic, unmolested and original early 1600-2 you will find anywhere!

Excellent, in my neck of the woods! So I have a good chance of seeing AMY in person when driving season returns. We have a vibrant '02 community with the Nor'East '02ers and the BMW Classic Car Club of America. http://www.bmwccca.com

 Andrew, make sure the new owner brings Amy to at least Vintage--and even better, to Mid America.  Then we can compare an original Euro 1600 with an original early US version.

Mike, I still email back and forth with the new owner a fair bit, so I'll try to influence him towards both Vintage and Mid America the best I can...

Hi guys. 

I have the 1600 sitting alongside the Alpina 2000tii. Be glad to bring it to an event in the northeast anytime.
