  • 1936spyder changed the title to BMW at The Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance 7.18.21

The 1934 315/1 belongs to Kara Canum & is one of the best examples in the country.

@John76

 

We must’ve met then as I attend the FAQ cars and coffee almost every month. What do you drive? I have a Sahara ‘74 tii with gold mesh rims.

Wendel, I didn't know you were 1936spyder!

Of course we know one another. We chat often at the FAQ Cars and Coffee get-togethers.

 PS: Thank you for the lead on the glass guy. I need to replace my windshield seal.

Saw that green beauty on the freeway, heading home, after the show.  It was hard to miss.

P.S. I might need to start bringing name tags to the NK&K

 

Yes, she mentioned that she drove it all the way to the show!

Hi John, I'm not a full-time frequenter of these pages but saw your car from a previous year and I freely admit to being encouraged to enter the event for the experience because of that.  Also saw the several strings of somewhat negative comments about these kinds of events so was a little doubtful about posting here.  But surprise, surprise, at the end for me!  There was a robust little group of 2002's, tii's, and related models including a maroon-ish 1600 which I had never seen before.  A beautiful car.  So, the answer is, I do drive it, though not long distances.  Being a little (a lot?) OCD, I spent many a long hour cleaning 40 plus years of grime off the undersides, engine compartment, suspension, etc., trying not to alter the originality of the car (it's original except for the paint, OEM exhaust, and obvious replaceable items).  For me an enjoyable task, tho not for my wife...  Couple of items were restored due to corrosion - what do people do to their batteries...?!  I can find my way around British sports cars pretty well, but the  learning curve on the tii is something else (where IS that miss, why DOES that pop when it starts...??).  Thanks for the kind words.

Lots and lots of eyecandy there!  Thx for sharing.
That 315/1 is just beyond fantastic!  The 507 is pretty special too.
I see Lisa was there with her Derby - for a second I thought it might have been my old '66... ?
The Ceylon til is certainly lovely too.

Certainly! You saw my posts on IG of some other particularly tremendous cars there but I elected to not share them here as they weren’t BMWs…

For me an enjoyable task, tho not for my wife...

 

Our wives must be related....I know exactly what you mean.

I retired 5 years before my wife, so I had the whole house (and garage) to myself....heaven!!

    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
