Ilyes Finishes His E21 Baur In Tunisia!

We have just received an update from Ilyes Fantar, our friend and fellow Baur owner in Tunisia!  He has been doing a lot of work to this Baur, and here is a post we did last summer*.

Ilyes tells me that he and his friends, Malek Ben Arfa and Mehdi Yaiche, bought the car for fun, and have worked hard on it for the last 9 months! What a great project! Great work, fellas!

They have now finished the job, and Ilyes sent us the following pics!  Congrats on a job well done!  This is one of two E21 Baurs that we know of in Tunisia, btw!  A very rare car there, indeed!

Here are some earlier pics from the work in progress! 

Congratulations Ilyes, Malek and Mehdi!

1969 BMW 1602 Cabriolet - $4900 (San Juan Capistrano)

Thanks to John Barlow for posting this in Faceboook, and to our friend and fellow Baur owner Amir Kadric for the gentle reminder!  ;)   This is a project, needless to say!

This Baur conversion BMW 1602 Cabriolet VIN 1557962 is one of (650) made in 1969. Total production between 1968-Jun 1971 was only 1682. The body was dipped about 18 months ago with intentions to restore. It was unfortunately put on the back burner since then and has sat in the elements. So the rust is mostly surface rust. As you can see, after the bondo was removed, a lot of patch work was revealed. The cabriolet will need to be dipped again prior to any restoration. With the value of these cars increasing every day and not very many of them in circulation, they are still very sought after restoration candidates. 

This car will be sold with a lot of the hard-to-find "cabriolet-only" pieces. THESE PARTS WILL NOT BE SOLD SEPARATE FROM THE CHASSIS, SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK. Inspections are encouraged. This was a running and driving car prior to being stripped down for paint and bondo removal. Car will be sold AS-IS with no implied warranties whatsoever. Car does have a CLEAN TITLE. The parts included are pictured on Shutterfly site, please see link below. Here is the list:
