Coupe Ancestry project - summary

very interesting Ed, this ceylon is 1 car earlier that the famous ceylon barn find that is owned by a member that is in incredible original condition. this one was NOT in the project or the registry ... good work !!!
I have 2270537 in my shop undergoing refurbishment. Is it in the project?
 
RHD 2800cs and 3.0cs have not been overlooked, they are part of the 220, 221, 222 + 223 series (approximately 15000 cars) which is more than i can take on at this time. my project takes on roughly half 13,000 +/-. if anybody wants to take on the other half of the project, i will gladly help them with anything i can do - i will tell you that it takes a lot of time

there is no link to any e9 registry in this project and is likely that there never will. this is a project to try to see if we can find out how many cars are still living and how many are not. it is also about tracking coupe history - finding out who previously owned cars / where cars spent their lives. as such it is limited by the amount of information that is out there. i have been through the original e9 register, the e9driven registry and the one that is currently on e9coupe.

yes, it is in the project. this car was owned in1990 by Ronald Vlack in White Plains, NY and was sold on BaT in 7/2023 out of Catamet, MA. the car was originally grey and was repainted Sahara at some point. would like to know who owns the car and what town / city they reside in (please send me a DM).

Ok, so I understand, this thread is not affiliated with https://bmwcsregistry.org/ ?

FYI my RHD is in the series 433xxxx
 
No, not associated with csregistry ... just a moderator of e9coupe as a private project that will share basic information but do my best not to share a person's name (unless its their e9coupe alias.

okay yours is not a CS, its a RHD CSiA and i have 11 or the 215 cars in the project ... so send me the information and i will put it in. i need the vin, the color, the original color any previous owner information that you have and where in Australia do you live. if you know the original build date or where it was delivered, that is also good info to have. one last thing, when did you buy it.

thanks

i have added 2 things to the summary (in post 1) that might be of interest to people. they have to do with color ...
1. there is a summary of all of the cars in the project sorted by color.
2. there is a summary of color by each model car in the summary.

basically 25% of all coupes in the project are Polaris, followed by Fjord (14%), Chamonix, Baikal, Nachtblau, Verona + Malaga. these colors account for approx. 65% of all coupes.

it is interesting to see the differences by model. the colors of RHD CSi are radically different percentages than the LHD CSi, which is very similar to the USA 2800cs + 3.0cs.

I have a CS not a CSI. Delivered new to Melbourne, Australia in 1974 to the Victorian state premier, Rupert Hamer. I am the 4th owner, and it’s now located in Sydney, Australia. Manufactured in May 1974, VIN 4330174 and Chamonix in colour.
 
i found some errors in my excel spreadsheet - i have gone through and checked every color tab for each car in the project. this changed the color summaries slightly ... i also added one other summary, color groupings
1. silver / light grey
2. light blues (fjord, baikal, etc)
3. chamonix / schwarz (black + white)
4. the 4 shades of red
5. the dark blues
6. the orange shades
7. the deeper greens
8. the yellows
9. the bright greens
