1973 BMW 2002tii Roundie

1973 BMW 2002 Additional Info:

Up for bid is a really clean unmolested, mostly original and almost rust-free, all matching numbers 1973 roundie BMW 2002tii.
All body panels, including the non-snorkel nose, are in great shape and line up with good gaps throughout. The rear panel was replaced at one point and the repair was isolated as there are no other signs of damage or work to the nearby panels and trunk lid. Each door has a small dent. The one on the driver's side was due to a broken door stop.
The original paint was Polaris/silver but the exterior was sprayed an Alpine White-like color. Looks great from 10 feet but there are flaws in the clear coat on sections of the roof and trunk lid upon closer inspection. The engine bay, door jambs and trunk retain the original color. Chrome bumpers are in excellent shape with nice shine and no pitting.
The only ruse through areas are the spare tire well, which is common, and a small hole on passenger floor. Everywhere else is solid and dry. No bodywork, bondo or filler anywhere. The car can be enjoyed as is (see inspection report for minor issues) or, if the new owner wishes, take it back to Polaris with minimal body work.
The interior is all original and really clean. The seats are in excellent shape. They have no tears and still have good cushion. The carpet has some wear and shows nicely with the coco mats. The dash has two cracks in the center while the headliner is clean and has no tears or discoloration. Door panels are uncut and not warped. The passenger seat belt does not retract. Clock is non-working.
Mechanically, the original numbers matching engine runs strong. The odometer stopped working at 89,xxx. The 4-speed transmission shifts smooth through all gears. The radiator was rebuilt. There is some exhaust rattle. Suspension has newer Bilsteins and handles nicely. Brakes work as they should. The rims are the original and hard to find; tires still have plenty of tread.
All electrical, e.g. lights, blinkers (euro version) works except for the horn.
I had an inspection done and have included a pic of the results. I can provide a PDF copy if interested.
