nicest original E-9
I suspect that honor would go to Don Crevier--Crevier BMW in Santa Ana CA--with an original 1974 and only 4,300 miles or around 6,900 km--it is as new!
They sold the E-9 to a lady in Laguna Beach where it was rarely driven, always garaged and at an advanced it age when she could no longer drive Crevier bought it back from her--it was slightly damaged along one side that required repair and re-paint of that area.
It is an unusual metallic color that to me looks pink in certain light but is kind of rose looking in other light--need help with the color as believe that color was only available the last year of US models. It is definitely a lady color.
Chuck--I think your 3.0 CSi is definitely one of the finest originals in this country--enjoy your outing with all of the Jaguars.
My only claim as to a fine condition E-9 is--that the BLUMAX is believed to be the highest mileage surviving E-9 on planet Earth--at 415,00 miles is un-restored--interior wood, vinyl, chrome bits, headliner and carpet are all original--exterior trim and chrome are also original except front bumper has been re-chromed--all in fine condition throughout--drive line, suspension and other mechanical features are updated to a step beyond a stock 3.0 CS.
BLUMAX will travel to Monterey in two weeks to attend the events--participate in the concours and attend Festorics--this will be BLUMAX's 36th anniversary of his first trip to attend events in 1974--unique I suspect of other attendees.
