1971 BMW 2002

I purchased this 1971 2002 in 2009 and completed the initial restoration in 2011. I sold it to a local friend who enjoyed it until early 2018 at which time I bought it back and refreshed a few things in need. I also updated the interior, installed a Getrag 245 5-speed, Ireland Engineering exhaust and completed a number of other improvements. I drove it to Vintage 2018 in Hot Springs, NC, the largest gathering of classic BMWs on the east coast, where it was awarded People's Choice from over 600 registered attendees. That's the only car specific award given at Vintage. It's a stunning, one of a kind, 2002 that performs well and draws a lot of positive attention. Build details follow for work between 2011-2019:
