NEW MEMBER. 1971 2800CS—227 0 466-CEYLON (Originally Nachtblau)

I’ve been tracking E9’s for several years and finally acquired this one earlier this fall. The car had one owner for 47 years who maintained obsessively complete service records, all of which came with the car. Other than maintenance replacements and the color change (which occurred in the early 1970’s), the car is original. It’s a joy to drive and reminds me of the Bavaria we drove in the mid 70’s. Hopefully it won’t remind me of the Bavaria’s service experience. It shares the garage with several Porsches and a 1969 XKE. I was glad to find this group and look forward reading it and relying on you experience
