    I've got a complete set of original 13x6 MiniLites from England with 185 Toyo tires (tyres) on them. Took them off and went to original steelies. The wheels alone are about $250 each nowadays I think, but if I could get a grand for the set with tires and BMW caps I'd be happy. I can take better pix if you are interested. I'm just north of you in Vancouver, BC. cheers, George

    .......Well done Lorenzo. Did it sell locally ?

    Good one... Not to be-labor this point too much.... but back when I had my first '02, the 1969 Euro version, I did the British equivalent of Advanced Driving training and you would definitely not have passed at any level with a dangling arm. The thing I got bad-marked for was not depressing the button on the handbrake lever as I pulled it on. That is a no-no. Wears the rachet and if you pull too hard, you have to pull even harder to release, stretching and wearing the cable. No Car Sympathy marks for that.... But I still passed OK with a warning not to do it again....and I haven't !!... lol George

    Harry... thanks for the pic. I see now :-) Will get them installed. "A picture is worth a thousand words" ....George

    hi Harry... I have installed your door brakes recently and am pleased that they function as stated and remove one of the annoying little things of these great old cars that tend to get ignored if more pressing problems need fixing. I didn't use the rubber (seals) because I couldn't see how they worked or improved anything. I used the plastic covers, as they would help protect the mechanism from the fine road dust that gets flung up through the door weep holes. Perhaps in your instructions you could point out how the seals work ? ....cheers, George

    Having driven a '69 from new back in the day the thing that amazed me was the Bavarian designers figured out a way to stop the North American habit of driving with your arm out the window. Cool perhaps ... But not the Bavarian way, so the window DOES NOT go all the way down. Same on my '73. :-) George

    .....That's my impression after having them quote on a roundie build when I was looking for the BEST roundie I could find, anywhere, last year ! I eventually found a better one and paid less than this asking price. They ARE out there, but you must have patience, and be willing to travel. ...George

    Bought early grills from Bryce (DenverTi) arrived quickly, well packaged and exactly as described/shown in ad. Very communicative seller. Will use again if need. Bought 5spd transfers from Mo Faraz. Good communicator. Arrived OK.

    I just bought the original BMW part kit to do both sides from RogersTii ... $22.95 so they are available.

    I have the exact same carb/setup on my '73 stock '02. No problems with rubbing on the hood. As you can see from attached pic, there is a small rubbing on the hood liner when I inadvertently didn't push the air cleaner housing down fully on the rubber adapter. But no actual contact/denting of hood when installed correctly. ...George

    FWIW, I purchased a '73 stock '02, for this same price early this year in Toronto. Tread VERY carefully !! I am always suspicious when so called $50k resto's are done and the u/s images are blurry so you cannot see the detail. The u/s of this car does not match the topsides and $$$ spent. My '73 is spotless u/s as well as topside. Make sure the VIN on the registration papers matches the VIN on the body, otherwise you will have one h_ _ _ of a hassle at the border. Ask me how I know Not with my BMW but another car. If it checks out, this is a special car and probably a better daily driver than the Tii. Good Luck !!

    I am most interested in the drivers side and on second glance the photo shows some dark spots and a white mark. Is the cover non-cracked ?

     

    thanks,

    johnlorio... I appreciate your concerns, but before we use social media to tarnish someone's reputation let's keep in perspective that we are not ordering parts for a brain surgery that is underway. These wonderful little cars of ours are a labour of love and shouldn't be hurried. The world will continue to rotate on its axis if your/my parts are a week late. Mine were. I survived. The car survived. I would cut RogersTii slack because he is probably busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest. He also has access to the best selection of parts anywhere, from what I can see, so good luck finding things elsewhere. Enough....jeez, I should be getting a commission on my next purchase after this George

    i've ordered many parts from RogersTii recently. He always answered the phone. Always delivered exactly what was ordered/advertised. I will continue to buy from him if needed. I always place an order direct by phone.

    OOPS.... I'll take myself out of the running for the grills. Just going over my '73 roundie today and realized a PO 'blacked out' the original grills to look like the newer models. Fooled me for a while, I actually like the look, but if I want original I'll just dip these and strip the paint as they are in very good condition. ......ac123099 you move up George

    hi Guy,

     

    On second thoughts the shift surround looks plastic.

    Could you confirm this please.

    I have located another console with the earlier version padded surround.

     

    thx,

    George

      Hi George, I have already sold the console.  This shift surround was either leather of a synthetic leather like material.

      Lots of parts still left, check out the add or send me a post with what you need.  Guy

    hi Don,

     

    I am in Vancouver, BC. Would $75 be enough to get it into my '73 ? I am removing the existing stereo and going totally original.

     

    cheers,

    George

    I've had successful dealings with these people recently on miscellaneous small items... adawil2002, subie1, tiretool2002, rbutler914 and o2 nut They where all good communicators, sent what they advertised and were fair to deal with. thanks, all

    Martin.. Just reading some of my old '02 books, I came across another sunroof maker.... try Googling BRITAX SUNROOFS they look similar also. It may be the one I had on my '69, it's just so long ago i cannot remember the name. cheers, George
