DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi, My 2.2s is almost finished and will be home in around 2 weeks if you wish to take a look. Hi Ian, Yes please! Will be in touch via PM. By the way I saw the other early 70MY RHD Signal Orange 2.2S at Hedingham. (I believe it's the sister to our cars and is one chassis number below mine). Give me...

I believe that Damon at Series900 in NH makes nice repros. No connection etc. Could be worth a call?

Cheers, Richard.

I will post some more pics, honest. Thanks for the replies. Great to meet you too, Rich. I have some pics of your car (and yours Darren) from Hedingham, which will be used for inspiration during dark days!

76 seat looks great, Garry. Nice work.
Cheers, Richard.

The car is home, thanks Mel for the help getting it back from the shipping warehouse in Southampton. The previous owner - hi Mitchell - had stripped the car and additionally amassed a fair few parts. So it came with many boxes of bits and I've spent some time going through the boxes to see what I've...

Agree, interesting. Good colour. Pre-varioram = less desirable in the market. Not to me though, the shorter gearbox ratios are the upside. The scuttle rust is off-putting, screen out job to sort it, but most 993 coupes are suspect in this area unless it has been recently done. At least in this case ...

OK, great. Hope it works out well.
Cheers, Richard.

Not sure if a repro is acceptable, but if so:

(I have no connection to the vendor, and have not seen the product in the flesh).
Cheers, Richard.

Sunday morning, a lovely day in the Solent (pink arrows are leisure craft), and my car is almost home:



Excited!

Yes please. PM sent.
Cheers, Richard.

Shush!
Surely we're allowed one?

That would be me.
Hi Mitchell
Cheers, Richard.

Hi Mitchell,
That photo is not visible to the rest of us - I think you need to be a member of the Australian register website to see it.
I'm interested!
Cheers, Richard.

The SMG could easily be the deal breaker however as I just can't imagine it being involving enough If you're uncertain, I'd definitely try the SMG for a good while before committing to a purchase. My view (based on experience - I think I had my CSL for 4 years) - the SMG is really bad, but not quit...

I sold my CSL a while back. No regrets.
I bought it when I only had room for one car. It was great in that context, did it all, but IMHO it's not far enough from a "normal" fast-ish BMW to be a proper toy.
