2500S

#1 Post by Mike »

Here's a nice looking "S" I'd seriously consider buying if I had a spare $6500 and another garage to keep it in.

Since I'm in New Zealand, if you pay for it I'll be quite happy to garage it for you and you can use it any time you come for a holiday.
How about the triple Webers?
Actually emailed owner who reckons fuel consumption is pretty good.
Think the speedo has been round the clock though.
Have a look at www carjam.co.nz and put in rego number.
1976 2500 TC. converted to S specs.

Lots of bits

1999 BMW Z3.
2006 BMW 325ti.
Hopefully not needing too many bits.

Ha ha, I don't have the spare $6500 though! Yeah, I like the triple Webers... I wonder how well the car goes with those? I think the "S" engines were a bit more powerful than the regular TC engines anyway, so it'd prabably go pretty good with the Webers! Maybe a bit like an E49 Charger... :lol: I'd imagine it wouldn't be too bad on gas... until you floor it! Yeah, those odometre readings are a bit weird! I'd pay his price if it was a genuine 58,000km... not if it's been clocked though! Still, looks like a nice car and those Webers and manifold wouldn't be cheap...

Yeah, if I didn't already have an S and a 2500 TC and if I had the spare cash and another shed, I'd be interested too!!

Since he's still got the original carbs you could always ask if he wants to sell the webers seperately for your "S". :wink: No good for me though, my Triumph has a V8.
