With recent E9 sale prices on BAT, a 74 Euro CSi is up for bidding! This one's in Agave green and has a replacement carb'd 3.3L. It will be interesting how the market reacts given the past few cars on BAT.

The original color shows under the back seats, looks like it might have been Sienna originally.
 
That would be my car. Yes I took the injection off when it became harder to get parts and I was looking to the future of keeping it running and easy to work on. As far as the grill that’s what came on the car when I bought it in 1988. Time and tide wait for no man so it’s time to give this one a new home.

Hmmm, a euro 74 with four slat plastic grille? No replies needed!

How can you tell it's plastic? Is it because it's a 4 slat. Genuinely interested and trying to learn…

My 74 came with black 5 slat from the factory…

Michael,
The 4 slat grills have a one piece plastic frame screwed/ riveted in from the back of the grill with the slats (black plastic somewhat like the fender and hood grills). You have what is typically known as the Csl grill with 5 (per side) black anodized slats.
Here you go.....

Thanks Keshav. Appreciate that. Also I like the fact I have something CSL on my CSi :)

You have a nice car! Good luck with it!

Although it would be AWESOME if Granatrot was the original color and the new owner paint it that.
 
Michael- Looks you have the original fiberboard tray that runs from the valance back. Not often seen!

Does anyone know the full story of these?

All e3 and e9 came with the undertray. After removing multiple times to access oil filter and years of water sogging they got thrown away.
 
Thanks, the E9s are really finally starting to be appreciated for their beautiful design after all these years. Of course the exposure in movies and TV shows hasn’t hurt either
