BMW 2002ti

[Nick Moss]

This Norwegian registered 2002ti competed in the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally, starting in Oslo, driven by Johan Johannessen in the Group 1 class, i.e. as a virtually standard showroom car. Over the years it was transformed into a Group 2 car

I bought this car some 3 years ago in this condition.





The engine was a genuine Alpina A2S, but belonged in a 2002 Touring, so was shipped back to its rightful home. So I had a scruffy 02 with no motor, so I do what I always do, pull it apart, then sent it to Enviro Strip

Look forward to seeing what you do. The 2002 is one of the few cars I would consider if I were to sell my 911.

I want this car already and we are only one post in....

There was quite a bit of welding to do, as with any 2002; new floors, hinge pillars and inner wing repairs.

New sills, rear quarter repairs, boot floor and rear panel:

The arches had been trimmed back before the GRP arches were added. The original arch lip is missing if you look carefully. We cleaned up the area a bit more before the shell went to Custom Cages for their first 2002 FIA cage. Then to Cleaning consultants for a blast before etch primer

Where was that Vic? Ti's were not available in the UK because of the space that the steering box takes up.

[Nick Moss]

The Group 2 arches that I fitted are narrower than the illegally wide arches that I removed
