Wow, amazing timing, we just unearthed some old photos cleaning in the garage this weekend. The first two of my 72 tii (my 3rd 02) are at a BMW CCA track day at Lime Rock park, probably in 1976, The one with my wife's R5 LeCar (license plate LeBonz) and my tii (T EYE I) is from December 78 in Redondo Beach, Calif.  good times, good times.

Here is a snap of my late 69 circa 1973 - the rear Alpina flares had already been ruined in a rear ender and replaced with ones made from VW bug fenders.
Campy 7x13...

Me and my 69 2002 in 1969 visiting my parents in NJ, and then me and the same car in 1971 at my house in Ohio.  Both the car and me have gone through some changes in these two years.  Mostly me as I recall.

classic Bell Bottoms ftw

 

is your car Florida?..or Nevada color?

[Dick R]

 I think the earlier picture is more accurate representation of the color.  I always thought it was just plain light grey.  I'm sure it had a name, but who cared about the names of paint colors in 1969 - not me that's for sure.

I've tried a couple times to sleep in the back seat of an 02...Impossible unless your like 5'1"

I spent a semi-comfortable half-night in "Motel 02" after driving non-stop for 18 hours from Dayton to the New Hampshire welcome station, on my way to Ofest 2000 and unable to find a (real) motel for the night.  I reclined the driver's seat, rolled up a blanket for a pillow and propped my feet on the pedals.  Slept like a baby for three hours...

Regarding the above wheels and tires comment by Autostrada, in the 1971 picture, those were the OE wheels, minus the hubcaps.  I never had any wheels but the originals on that car.  While the old photos are not all that clear, if you look closely at the front wheel in the 1969 photo, it is the same wheel with the OE chrome hubcap in place.  Regarding the tires, those were most likely A70-13 Goodyears.  Probably bias-belted Polyglas.  I was a tire development engineer for Goodyear in the early 70s, and at that time I'm pretty sure that the widest tire for 13 inch rims were 70 series.  60 series was probably pretty new on the scene in 14 and 15 inch sizes, but I don't believe they were yet in the 13 wheel size.  Of course, I'm basing this on a near-50 year old memory.
