Surprised there's not more interest here for this car - which clearly was a painstaking process of renovation and is a real beauty.

 

With all you've done, it seems painful to pull out some nits, but I recall when it was listed back in the Fall of '21, there were a few items remaining : intermittent wipers and worn splines on the rods, a few things not hooked up (heater, windshield washers, defrost). Still outstanding?

VSR fixed everything

The car is a “numbers matching” 1973 Tii. The photos will document its VIN in all the correct locations.   We have completed a thorough mechanical and cosmetic restoration with a goal of making it a high-quality original driver, looking and performing as it did when it left the showroom. With some modifications from original for ease of maintenance, it came out as intended.

Summarizing in random order as we leaf through the receipts, these items were addressed by being replaced or reconditioned. They are further detailed in the photo portfolio:

Is this transmission still available?

Thank you Rick for that starting sequence.

Took a gamble and replaced the zeitschalter because a. I had one (thanks to a kind fellow member) and b. it was an easy R&R before tackling anything more time-consuming. Lo' and behold , using Rick's starting sequence it fires as new. Thanks to all for the comments.

How are you starting the car when hot/warm?       When cold, you should not have to touch the accelerator but when hot, you should have it at least 1/2 to 3/4  open when starting warm/hot       System needs all that air when warm/hot

 

But mind you, all cars are a little different and everything that we are dealing with is 50 year old technology. I have a customer with his tii, fully rebuilt engine needs a little throttle when ever starting, that what it likes so....

 

Thanks, Rick

Anyone interested in late 60s European examples might want to watch Netflix series "Gloria" .  Cold war spy thriller in Portugal. Story line is great, screenplay so-so, acting not so hot, BUT...

...the car props are wonderful! The star is a Tilux with a lot of screen time. A 1600 shows up often, as well as a handful of Vws, NSU, Hillman, 2CV, a Triumph sedan, Lotus sedan , and a bunch of others you aficionados will be able to identify.  They all look collector quality.  Keep your finger on the hold button because the scenes don't last long.  Around episode  # 7 or so there is a nice set of ta-tas for those of you with more prurient priorities.

Been away, sorry for the delay in responding , thanks for the replies. Getting back under the hood this week using the input.

New rebuilt motor , starts immediately when cold and  runs fine  but starting when warm/hot is a chore. Was told by people who are supposed to know that this issue points to a malfunctioning cold start valve. Is that pretty much consensus?

Mike and Steve.....Thank you for the reply

,the Pelican pn is 36131114180-M9

This is the piece

Bought a set of hubcaps for the FPS alloys from Pelican. Fitment seems to be an issue. Are they to be mounted from outboard? Inboard? Anyone with the right combination welcomed

Inca, Numbers  matching , clear title  Looks, drives and performs as delivered from dealer.
