This is a 1968 BMW 1600 Baur Voll Cabriolet #67 produced. I had it for several years but needed the funds to acquire a sweet 1992 RS (964). Very practical and easy to work on.

Yeah, I had my body guy mold the air dam in. He did a great job and it looks so much cleaner than before.
I did a body off resto in the late 80's all because of a mouse. The little bastard packed both frame rails with kibble that held water like a sponge and caused them to almost rust in two. He kind of did me a favor in hind sight though, I probably would not have restored the car to this level without his shenanigans. The little guy cost me about $40K and I never even caught him.

Alpina and the other prominent 02 tuning shops such as GS Tuning and Koepchen sometimes fitted mechanical tachos to their purpose built race cars. This hot rod 02 uses a period correct but made in the USA Trans Am solution that drives off the snout of the 300 Alpina sport cam.

Alpina used Smiths chronometric mechanical tachos and listed the piece in their Accessories folder. The Smiths instrument used a bell crank drive, similar to the one pictured in the second image below, which was fitted to a reworked timing gear cover and camshaft. Alpina sold the Smiths unit for DM 387 back in 1973.

The tacho on this hot rod however was made by Jones Instruments and is the chronometric tachometer most favored for its accuracy by the Trans Am teams of the late 60s and early 70s.

Here is the "ALPINA electrical tachometer with adjustable maximum revolution indicator. For installation into the instrument panel of the BMW 1602/1802/2002/Touring" and sold for DM 168.

This one was pulled many years ago from a rusty Euro 1602 that was parted out. The red indicator needle had gone astray.

Hallo Rick

You are welcome; glad you enjoyed seeing those old 2002 things.

Here is some old literature from the early days of the 02 as published by Burkard Bovensiepe KG in Buchloe, West Germany at the old ALPINA typewriter factory owned by his father.
