1972 2002tii

[Fawudd]

Price: $38500

Location: Tampa, FL

Description:

For sale is my much loved Agave 1972 2002 tii owned for the pat 20 years. It began life for the first few years in Germany, and I have full documentation & receipts. It then went on to California before coming to me. It now has 101000 miles as it only recently turned over. The motor was rebuilt at 75,000 miles about 17 years ago, and it has been flawless ever since with multiple trips to the Vintage and Mid-America. It was also repainted at some point prior to my ownership, and has been garaged ever since. This is not a concours car, but a great looking driver in complete working order. Well, actually, the A/C probably needs charging. If you have a serious interest, please contact me at eight one four 2 zero 4 2 zero zero 2. Thanks

Hey Solex. nice car. how much are you asking? Does AC work? 4 or 5 spd?

Agave and saddle brown! The best combo in my opinion!

Very tempting…    if only a sunroof

Very nice car, good luck with your sale.  I see PA plates.  Where was the car located when it was in state?

Awesome temp gauge modification! Edit: added old Roundel letter that someone else made the same modification. Font details included.

So I guess this is a US spec car that was delivered in Europe?  The vin and all is US - the 276XXXX.  All the equipment on it is US - the instruments and bumpers, lighting, etc.  

 

It looks great - great color and the condition is pretty amazing.

Quite possibly, the first owner picked it up in Europe. Just guessing.  There was a Colorado 72tii I looked at in Md that was picked up by the owner in England, then it was shipped to the US.

Jim, I am not sure whether it was US spec or Euro converted when it came to the USA. The first few years were spent and serviced in Germany (as evidenced by the records I have), so it was not just a European delivery.

Exactly what Jim wrote. A Euro 1972 tii would have VIN 270XXXX or 271XXXX.

 

But the real clue is the invoice (pic below) - if you google San Juan Hill, Heidelberg, you will see it was US Military housing complex back then, thus the Owner was no doubt a military serviceman.

As others have said this looks like a great car. My compliments to the owner for maintaining it in this wonderful condition. Since apparently it is a US spec example that lived abroad for several years I wonder if anyone has possible insight into the upholstery, which appears to be in fact Euro spec with cloth inserts rather than vinyl as on US cars. Early owner replacements to Euro spec, perhaps?

I am going to correct the description to eliminate "Euro" given the VIN. The other parts of the story including the first several years in germany, and the interior will just be part of the description. Thanks to all for chiming in.

The AC does work, although it probably need a charge at this point.
