Posible bmw 1800ti/sa?

[Pedro]

Hello!

 

Some months ago I bought a bmw 1800ti. After giving some love and working on the car  I realized that it had EVERYTHING the ti/sa models came with, the only diference is the vin, it starts with 14........(dont remeber exactly) as many other left hand drive ti´s whereas ti/sa models came with 995001 to 200 range right?. My question is, does anyone known if there were any ti/sa´s built apart from the 200 known. The car has the special 5 speed getrag gearbox, ti/sa cylinder head, weber 45´s, long red velocity stacks, speedo,seats, steering wheel, fuel tank, brake discs, it even has the tisa spare wheel, the color is the same light grey, and what it seems to be an agressive cam with a strange (AE1) stamp. Just wanted to know if anyone knew something or had more information of what it could be, I wont be offended if it isnt a ti/sa ?

If it’s not a 99500x it’s not a TI/sa, they only made 200

UPDATE: Today I contacted bmw and got this information

 

"The VIN you provided belongs to a BMW 1800 TI (not a "TISA") that was manufactured on November 17th, 1965 and delivered on March 14th, 1966 to the BMW dealer Burkard Bovensiepen KG in Kaufbeuren. The original colour was Bristol, paint code 058.
For more info you might ask the archives of Alpina if they have something on the car: classic@alpina.de"

 

Aparently it is not a tisa ?, but current paint matches factory.

After that I contacted Alpina and this is what they could provide:

 

"we can confirm that this 1800Ti, Color Bristol, was delivered to Kaufbeuren in 1965. It was one of the first cars that arrived there.
Unfortunately we don't have any more information."

 

Could it be some kind of alpina unit or maybe it was there, where the car was "built/prepped" as a tisa? What do you guys think? Maybe that explains why it has a tisa motor, weber 45´s, the special getrag, the big fuel tank, seat, tach, etc.

Anyways I´m very thankfull to bmw and alpina for providing this info.?

You may have a true Alpina modified 1800Ti, too bad Alpina doesn’t have any more info.

Jackpot! Most likely one of the 1st ALPINA cars! Wow!

I've often wondered if Mr. Bovensiepen had a hand in the development of the TiSA, possibly as a factory advisor, before Alpina was a twinkle in his eye.  Bill

That's some impressive provenance, even if it's incomplete. where in the world is the car? And as others have said, more pics when you have them!
