@JeffM did you ever find parts for those seats?  I found a pair of them in orange spectrum and I'd love to restore them.  

@Harv So sorry to just read this- I was there with my Koral 2002Tii.  I've been raving to my buddies about the weekend and we plan to go again next year.  Perhaps we can make it more of a 2002 event.

Best,

James

Also looking for these Mahle pistons on a rebuild Le Tran is handling for me.  If anyone has them, I would be delighted to buy or trade for them.

James

Hi all,

Assuming I get my car back from LA in time I'm in for Vintage, leaving from Jersey City, New Jersey.  Happy to convoy with all the other NJ folks and New Englanders as long as they bring chowdah.

Totalled over 1,000 miles in my first 2 days going from San Francisco to LA where she's in the capable hands of Le Tran.

Can anyone tell me hotel plans so I can make my own?  

Thanks- James 

Congrats, Spokane! Best of luck and I'll allow myself to be a little jealous.

Steve- I hear you on all points but he was not able to open the trunk when we spoke.  Sometimes it simply helps to be local!

James

I would be very interested to hear how the body looks outside of the known rust, especially from a 2002 guy.  However don't ruin your day if it's totally out of your way.

James

Hey Guys-

I've been in contact with the owner who seems like a good guy. I bowed out as he can't get the trunk open so he cannot send me photos of the rear wheel wells.

Does anyone know the car?

James (in NJ)

NMNA.  I had a passing interest but that interest passed.

I believe this car was originally listed at BimmersRUS in St Louis before being sold to MotoExotica.

Congrats! Very nice car

I can only speak from experience.

I texted and was promised call after call and am ready to go. After a number of promises and expressing my continued interest, I gave up.

If he hasn't sold it I would be delighted to speak and setup a PPI.

James

Has anyone spoken to the seller? I am quite interested and have received text messages but no calls.

James

It appears to be s very early car, maybe number 16 overall. But the engine doesn't seem original. there are plenty of cars that need that kind of work- I would prefer to wait for one with a better story. For instance, matching numbers or stronger body or a Tii. Maybe that's just me...

Well if the rust has already eaten all the metal there technically isn't much rust anymore, is there.

Besides, 'light' rust sells much better than 'heavy' rust.

I recognized this one as being for sale in South Carolina recently. The car was originally $8,500 but the seller seemed ok at $6k. It has a bad paint job and if I recall from the original photos (this is one of the originals) the rear driver's side shock tower is due for a patch.

current seller says he bought two and is selling one.

Seller said it sold- anyone here buy this car?

James

Steve-

I was indeed texting with the owner and received that photo. I completely agree that Polaris would be fantastic. I was considering it for a quickly-drivable project.

Is that your car? Did you buy it? Not trying to bash or misrepresent the car, just discuss it.

James

I would be curious to hear how it looks in person. The paint has a little 'latex interior' look to it and rust appears to be an issue.

St Louis- anyone?

Thanks all!

I'm looking at a car in St Louis, is anyone located nearby?

Thank you,

James

Steve-

You are looking at it all wrong. At $4500 it's almost twice as nice as it was at $2500. I'm just shocked they were able to do all the work overnight.

Has anyone seen this car?

I reached out to see if this car was still for sale and as of 815pm tonight, it is. However the seller tells me demand has been very high and the price has risen from $13,500 to $14,750.

Hi All-

NMNA

The owner Scott is selling due to divorce. The car needs one rocker but includes the part. Brakes have been gone through by a local BMW guy and rust is described as limited. The KF has been tuned and the car should have most records with a little over 100k on the clock.

I may have found another car- could be a good opportunity in a rare color 74 Tii sunroof car.

I had also responded to Mark. I have been looking for two years and am well past ready for a good candidate.

I hope to hear back- Thx Mark

-James

Thank you, Shoeless.  I never heard back.  

(I rescind that appreciation if you actually bought it:)

James
