Malaga Tii

This BMW 2002 Tii was manufactured on February 26th 1974 and delivered to BMW Italia in Palazzolo on the 14th of March ’74. The car was ordered in 021 Malaga (Burgundy red, non-metallic) over a Parchment Vinyl/Cloth interior with green tinted windows. A very classy color combination. The car was then sold new through BMW dealership Italcar in Turin.

Recently the car was discovered again after sitting for a couple of years. This car is truly a survivor Tii that lived in Italy, why? – A beautifully straight body with a solid and original undercarriage. The interior is all original. The car received a high quality yet sympathetic restoration. Retaining it’s original interior, but looking as beautiful as in 1974.

The car’s body is beautiful and was repainted completely. This was done excellent, to a high standard and ofcourse with all trim taken off. 021 Malaga is the original color for this car, a very deep red. it received a complete, full paintjob including engine-bay, trunk and undercarriage.
A nice and solid body that hasnt seen any bodywork – proper shutlines and the correct fold in the sides. The doors, fenders and trunk nicely fit and line-up. Perfectly straight and non-repaired doors, original front fenders and fascia (without snorkel). Furthermore original floors and sills – lovely!
On and around the body it shows nice chrome accents in great condition. The chrome-trim around the car presents nice as well as the trim around the windows. Brand new headlights in deep-black grilles. The tailights are in very good condition. The roof and sill trim is brand new.

The engine bay was repainted beautiful. The matching numbers engine runs excellent and has received lots of love, more on that below. The engine bay shows original decals, vin tag and restored airfilter housing. New hood insulation, 

The interior of the car is mostly original and aged beautifully. The later, square taillight cars were available with these part vinyl, part cloth parchment interior. Here it’s all original. A crack-free dashboard with the Tii clock and correct 220 km/h instrument cluster. Nice parchment doorpanels, a clean original headliner and original one-piece loop-style carpets. The seats wear their original vinyl, the foam has been restored and they sit very well.

The trunk was also repainted and all the panelling has been recovered in the correct grey vinyl. The spare tire is a 5th matching Turbine wheel. Jack and tool are present. The trunk looks amazing and exactly as in 1974.

The restoration was very done very thorougly and precisely. The fit and finish is very good, proper panelgaps and correctly installed trim. Windows installed in new gaskets and with new chrome fill piece. Technically the car was completely gone through; Front and rear axle and struts powdercoated and fitted with new balljoints, bearings and bushings. We’ve gone through the car bumper to bumper and its looks and drives beautiful. Starts up right away and the engine makes good power, the 4-speed transmission shifts nicely and roadholding is excellent. All functions work as it was tested, tried and driven.
