50 Today!

[SydneyTii]

Not to bad for a 50 year old, engine rebuild and a couple of small bits of rust this year all ready for the new garage!

A few pics of the old girl over the years.

 My Tii (Conrad) is 50 in 2 days.  Congrats @SydneyTii

She's good lookin!  I should really check my build date...

I always thought it was interesting that the factory chose to use Euro rear bumpers--incorporating license plate lights--on cars bound for Australia, where license plates are the same size (more or less) as US plates that have a completely different lighting setup..

 

Your car doesn't look a day over 2 😁.

Congrats on the 50th! My 74, Gunther, also turns 50 today. He's waiting on paint.... I did splash a dollop of rum on the rad for good measure. 💥

Happy Half Century! Looks great. 
 

A question if I may - if you recall, what size tyres are/were you running with the Alpinas. 

[SydneyTii]

Thank you!
They’re 185x70x13’s and they are not Alpina wheels they are Octavo wheels, funny you should say that I’ve had that a few times, tbh I like them better as the offset works with no rubbing, nothing wrong with Alpinas I just didn’t want to do any bodywork to get them to fit. Next set of tyres will be CN36 Pirelli’s

 

and if anyone has a spare Octavo and wants to ship it to Aus I’d be a very happy 02’er😉
