time to move on... tii seeks new owner

for years I searched for the perfect round tail light tii, preferably fjord blue with a sunroof.  I had fixed up and sold several and eventually found what I had spent countless hours seeking. 

we then proudly attended vintage BMW meets all over the west coast and then we drove this tii across the desert to our new home in austin.  the custom modern construction period of our lives was very time consuming and costly.  I couldn't keep up all these vintage cars AND offer all my time to the new home project.  the end result is that we love our home but now this car mostly sits.  it needs an owner who will give it more attention than we can offer it.

 fjord tii

at great expense we had the BMW factory air conditioning mated to a light and efficient japanese compressor.  I wish I could tell you it blows cold, it should, it needs attention. 

we recently installed a brand new clutch, all new MFI linkages etc etc.  but the seats need reupholstering and the paint could use a touch up here and there along w/ the driver's fender (bumper sliced the fender like a can opener in a parking lot mishap). 

I would not hesitate to drive this car coast to coast, the mechanicals are great and the only modification would be the crane electronic ignition. 

we have all receipts from they day it was purchased new in Germany, including window sticker and bill of sale.  numbers matching engine, all original MFI and the extremely rare F.P.S. alloy wheels with new tires.  has the original nose, new exhaust, no snorkle hole. 

call 512-587-7310

please don't call and expect that this car can be purchased for anything less than 10k.  edmunds lists the value of this car in show condition at 21k, 15.5k for excelent.  link below for more photos. this car was serviced by 2002 restorations in eugene oregon prior to my owning it. I used motorspeed west in santa clara and then terry sayther here in austin.
