Take that orange "parts" sticker ('74 on) off. A good way to spot an Oldenzaal car.

nice

 

is that really Atlantik Blue? Sure looks like they missed the shade by a good margin

 

It's a pretty blue though. A blue you might see on an E46............................

 

I am curious to how much of the drive train/mechanical was gone through. She's pretty but is she "tight"?

I cant wait to see how the forum picks this exceptional car apart.

Color doesn't look right for Atlantik, I agree. Seats, as common to Oldenzaal, are stitched and do not have heat welded seams. The whole underside is uninspiring, front & rear axle carriers, just randomly painted black and not gone into too much detail. 

As you may know, I'm not a fan of Oldenzaal cars, I would strive away from that one.

color looks like someone couldn't decide between atlantic and riviera....so just mixed them together..

nice car, nice color

Nice looking vehicle.  I need to add this one to the list of euro tiis in the US.  This one is a good 2400 cars before mine.  They made about 15,000 euro tii roundies (if I'm remembering correctly).  A good chunk of tii production in general.

Why I so dislike B.A.T.: comments ranging from dead-on and correct — that would be those by Delia — to the un-informed — that would be those criticizing the car’s front bumper, based on the false assumption that Euro-spec cars must follow the U.S.-spec rules... (The subject car, a 1972 Euro-spec tii, is wearing correct bumpers for a 1972 Euro-spec ‘02.)

 

Sadly, anyone who is not an expert believes that Delia’s comments and the un-informed comments are equally true... ?

I find that, in contrast to B.A.T., mis-statements on this forum are quickly corrected. Yes, we’re sometimes relentless and overly-fussy, but we quickly bat down the incorrect statements, allowing everyone to focus on the justified comments, rather than letting incorrect thoughts fester. And that’s why I love this forum! ?

 

Oh well: daily rant over! Feeling better already! ?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

I hardly ever look at 2002s on BAT because it just drives me crazy.  

 

I look at other cars I like occasionally, but the 02 stuff is brutal.  

 

My gut feeling, too, was that it probably had the correct bumpers.  I'm just not anywhere near the reference material.
