I don't know if its "better shape"... but I have "heard" that my Derby appears to show its long lasting preservation considering the body and interior is stock on my car.  It was important to me to have my Derby stay in its original condition and to make it last longer by refreshing the engine, having it rebuilt with all original and some stock NOS parts, the suspension was redone, exhaust refreshed, and interior is unmolested... Actually, thanks to Anders, he's the one who gave me great guidance on how to keep my Derby in this stock condition. When Jay Leno saw my Derby, he saw something special in it too.. ?  I believe both are Derby 1600's are pretty special.

@Lisa.02P-

 

My comment wasn’t meant to be taken in a disparaging manner, but if it came off as such I apologize. Both cars are tremendous examples of early 1600’s and I would do just what you have done if I were so fortunate to own a 1600 in the same condition.

No worries!, I didn't take your comment as such. ?

 

PS: I tell people this all the time... "not to make your cars too nice... cause then you're not going to enjoy driving it as much when you do"..  ?

My anxiety levels are through the roof when I drive Tesoro or Derby... LOL!  But I try to zone out and enjoy the roads when they are empty. ?

 

Happy Motoring!

Growing up around extremely well restored cars I feel the same way. Ironically, after my car was done I went through the same kind of anxiety and after a point I just said WTF it’s just a car! I did make a point of not replacing all of the trim and glass and not restoring the engine compartment to minimize that but still...

    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
