Nah, people are clueless. I had similar on my Porsche and not one person in 3 years asked about it.@tferrer,
I wonder if folks in California think your plate has something to do with a trout hatchery?

I'm going to try and sell it off BaT first. I'd love to see the car go to a local enthusiast or at minimum a BMW enthusiast that will take it to the next level. A few people have messaged me so hopefully it will go the local/enthusiast route.

To any interested parties. I just took about 80 underside shots. DM me for details. Lots of detail shots of the seams and upper fenders and shock towers. The car is a revelation. It has zero structural rust and hardly any surface rust. Remarkable.
this is a really nice car ... no question about it. sure there are some little things, but overall its just so original
Wish I had the room and some extra car money (our kitchen remodel killed that for a while) to buy your car. I love everyone about it.
This was at our local BMW C&C last weekend. Very interesting little car (I'd rather have yours)...

The car is Pending Sale based on receipt of deposit tomorrow. Great conscientious buyer that has great plans on taking the car to the next level. Thanks to everyone that expressed interest.
Congratulations! Will be interesting to see what the next level is. Is he a local buyer?
Yes, the same individual thats totalled Tii showed up on Copart. Really nice guy.
The steering wheel is even on the right side..
Great News. The stars aligned for this transaction. Great car, great seller and a buyer ready to replace an unfortunate tii.
This car is SOLD
really happy this car has gone to a great home
Congratulations on the sale, but also on all of the beautiful work you did to polish up such a wonderfully original car for all to see and admire.
Thanks guys. Yes, it came out great aside from the things you just can't undo on 50 yr old failing paint. It's a joy to me to shed a little love on such a deserving, unappreciated gem. I DO think the Touring will come into it's own and not be seen as the ugly sister to the "normal" 2002. I mean look at that beautiful Italian a**!
Michelotti does not pen ugly cars and the more time you spend around them, the more attractive they become. At least to my thinking...

Wait people said they are ugly? No way!!!
They don't "say" it but imply that's its just a little too "something" out of the ordinary. Even the eventual buyer saw it in passing at the Brisbane 02 fest but didn't walk over to look at it. It's when you spend time with the car and look at the details that you begin to "get it" and appreciate the looks, design and what it actually represents which is THE 1st Hot Hatchback..Be damned to the VW GTi.
As with with the Z3 Coupe (Clownshoe) back in the mid 1990's, the 2002 Touring had a similar reaction.
Back when I had my 2002, there were some fellow 02 drivers that really did not like the (as they called it) 'Hatchback'. LOL
Congratulations
