Ti/SA history

[Nicec2s]

Folks,

Recently i stumbled into 1965 BMW Ti/SA #995194. This was Art Krill’s car back in the day. 
I’m interested to learn whether anybody in this community might have any history regarding the car?
I hope so. 
I plan to bring 194 to Monterey next summer. 
thanks,

George

It’s great to see 194 back stateside! @StephanNK and I are glad to have helped some with info and photos for you prior to purchase. @artbo May have history for you if you aren’t already in contact with him.

@tjones02 - yes, thank you very much.  Super helpful.  Your views gave me confidence to pull the trigger.  Much appreciated.  Would love to see if someone might know who the original US owner might have been.  Art believes Mike (someone).  Wish I had more.  

much appreciated,

George

Are those TISA supplements to the "regular" 1800ti manual?

@d.hitchcock Yes these appear to be supplements to the 1800 “standard” owners manual.

This thread has got me thinking. Years ago someone sent their original Tisa valve cover when I asked for a no -ribbed version cause the one I inherited wasn't true to the period of my pedestrian NK 2000. It arrived in perfect condition and is still installed in my car. 
 

The kind person said they swapped out their original Tisa cover in order to re-port the oil exhaust from the motor.

 

Was it Art who sent the valve cover to me? I don't remember and our DMs have disappeared from the forum.

 

But if it was I'd be glad to exchange the valve cover for one of equal quality. One doesn't charge to make a Tisa whole.

Interesting! I've got an 1800ti manual with some associated documents, but not this. Obviously would have been very rare.

[Nicec2s]

@d.hitchcock thanks. Yes I have that book and blue plastic cover as well. 
 

@kiva667 that’s so interesting. I not sure if it was Art either, as he hasn’t mentioned this to me. I’ll send you a direct message and we can discuss directly. Many thanks!

You are Welcome to DM me.

FIY Kit there was nothing specific about the valve cover on a TISa, but it would be nice to reunite the original with the car 🙂

[kiva667]

Yea, Nick, it would be the right thing to do if indeed was the correct valve cover . I'm in the Caribbean now or I'd take mine off to see there ar some identifying cast numbers inside. I'll wait and hear from George, anyhow

 

EDIT: the valve cover I was given does have one unique feature - no ignition numbers on it. That even got "Conserve" (Steve) puzzled.
