Welcome Everywhere: ’35 MG PB

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

MG PB

None of the MG product line could be considered luxurious, the PB Midgets were the most spartan of them all. The sales literature of the time advertised “Over one hundred new and improved features” over the preceding J-Type, but few of those features had anything to do with comfort. The idea was to build the minimum sporting car that was affordable. And they were cute, but with 36 horsepower and a crash 4-speed, they were anything but fast. The PBs were tiny little things. They were designed for a much smaller person than is normal today. This wonderful PB, VIN # PB0260, was made into a fantastic road car. Read More

Going Dutch: ’54 Kaiser-Darrin Roadster

Kaiser-Darrin

A few weeks back, we wrote about another limited production sports car – the Ghia 450SS. What we discovered then is that most of the production run of the Ghia 450SS was sold in Hollywood. Well, we’ve got another Hollywood car – the Kaiser-Darrin. Howard “Dutch” Darrin hailed from New Jersey but he found his way to Paris where he was a designer of custom-built automobiles. He was quite the bon vivant and an avid Polo player. According to legend, better Polo brought him to southern California. Read More

The Plural of Tii is? : a ’72 and ’73 BMW Tii Roundie

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , Leave a Comment

The BMW 2002 was the it car of the late 1960s. It started a revolution is small packaging and set BMW up for the success it enjoys today. The 2002 was great but the Tii was the German GTO of its day. The tii’s 140 horsepower doesn’t seem a lot today, but it was plenty in the early 1970s. The secret was its mechanical fuel injection, which allowed for precise fuel metering at all rpm ranges. The transmission was a straightforward four-speed manual. The 2002’s basic architecture and component usage set the standard for what most automakers still employ 35 years later.

We never do this but there are not one but 2 nice BMW Tii Roundies on eBay. Both profess to be good runners with Kugelfischer injection intact. One silver and one Colorado orange. If you are an extrovert, we know you’ll pick orange.

BMW 2002 TiiThe Colorado Orange car is set-up nicely with rear seat delete, headers and ANSA exhaust. The front has a set of Hella Rallye lights too. It appears well cared for and all set to go. You can see the auction by clicking here.BMW 2002 Tii

BMW 2002 TiiThe Silver car is a solid, west coast car from new. The body and bottom is said to be Mint. The engine was gone through 24,000 miles ago by the previous owner. Here we go with the “everything works but”. In this case, the horn. The horn is a nice Tii touch so we would attend to it. How hard can that be?
