I was just on the NK website and saw there are 2 more owner's photos added, Leif's 1965 1800Tisa and Guy's 1969 2000, both are very sharp bimmers.

My favorite. there were only 50, all produced as factory racers, and all (I think) in this color combination. The best one I have seen is Don Dethelson's which is part of the house collection at The Werkshop (www.thewerkshop.net). He has the original engine (rebuilt and mounted on a stand as a display piece) out and is running a Korman stg2 setup. The original mills were a bit fragile and are impossible to find parts for.

200 Tisa's built by BMW in 1965. I had #089. I estimate less than 50 remain.

The owner of the pictured Tisa is scouring the planet for a correct steering wheel, so if anyone has one...

Neil,

There looked to be a really nice original steering wheel for the Tisa on german ebay a little while ago, large metal horn ring type if I'm right. Leif's tisa is beautiful and Guy's 2000 looks to be in great shape, appears he bought it from the original owner. He's e-mailed me a few times and is pretty stoked about the car, has a 2000 parts car as well. It's nice to see 2 more photos added to the NK site.

You are right. my mistake. I wonder how many are left.

Tisa's came from der factory with a big ol' wood-rimmed wheel, much in the style of a Nardi wheel. The wheels were made in England by Walsall and also used on the Porsche 904.

I was incredibly lucky enough to find a tisa wheel with hub and horn button on German EBay last year. Luck for me the seller didn't know what it was and just listed it as an oldtimer BMW lenkrad.

I would sooner give up a kidney than part with it. Even BMW couldn't find one. The Tisa that was on display in Spartanburg has the incorrect wheel.

As Colonel Klink on Hogan's Hero's would say, "very interesting"!! Any word on der front armrest trim caps Neil?

If any of you NK tisa/ti folks are interested, it does not have the cut-out for a 2002ti booster, nor does it read 2000cs on it. Must be from a NK?

make an offer if interested!!

It probably is from an NK. You can check the photos on the NK board and see if it matches --> http://thedotcommune.com/NK/photos.phtml.
