Who's car is this?

Does anyone know if this car belongs to an FAQer?  I'm really interested in the color code used to paint this car.  I looks like a Derby color but when compared to other Derby cars it looks to have more of taupe tint to it than the grey/blue tint that you see in most Derby cars.  If anyone has any info on the paint specs, I would be really interested to know.  This was one of my favorite 02's that I saw at the Brisbane show this year.

The FAQ does not like the .HEIC iPhone format.  You can convert it to JPG on-line and then change the settings on your iPhone to only save pictures in JPG format.

 

Maybe this car?

Guys, so sorry for the image loading issue.  I had to log into my PC (instead of my Mac) to properly get the JPG in there.  It does seem to be the one in Mark's picture, but I reloaded mine to be sure.

Tapioca?  Only if it's been in the fridge for weeks!

 

I too like the 'grey with a lot of chroma' look on cars like ours that

have lots of chrome on them.  Looks period, looks understated, 

but isn't boring.

    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
