Happy 50th birthday to my parent’s Tii 2760007!

[tjones02]

A VERY happy birthday to my parent’s 2002tii! It was born on this day 50 years ago. I’ll be taking it on a one gas tank drive this weekend to celebrate.

We olan on having a much bigger celebration Saturday February 5th 2022 as it will be 50 years to the day, even the day of the week, that my parents and sister went to Weatherford BMW in Berkeley California while car shopping, saw this Tii on the showroom floor, and purchased it.

David Roach, with his '73 tii  "Molly"...

@Emyers, @MikeD, @schoir, @John76, @Glen Karr, and likely more.

‘74 tii’s appear to be over-represented among the original owners of which I’m aware, when you look at the percentage of total ‘02 production these 2,927 tii’s represent. What’s that all about? They live longer? They really love their cars? ?

Lets go with original owners with 74tii's live longer.  Since I am almost certain I am the oldest with a 74tii knowing that I will have many more years with my car is comforting

And I was a younger child when I purchased my ‘76, but I’m not telling how young! ?

I have quite a few orig Owner cars in my database, BUT, as they were for sale/auction, they are probably 2 or 3 Owner cars now.?

And some of them weren’t even original-owner cars when they were called “original-owner cars”… ?

 

I (a.) recall a thread where the third owner of an ‘02 was trying to convince us it was an original-owner car because the second owner owned it briefly and he, the third owner, had not really driven the car… much, and (b.) I’ve met more than a few classic car owners who somehow confuse “original owner” with “long-time owner”.
