It was not restored, however it had recently been repainted due to a nasty keying incident. Here's a picture of it.

Good luck and please post some pics! John

Maybe one of our UK members knows of the car .... GorgeousPic from the magazine taken by Alisdair Cusick

I saw a nice BMW just like yours motoring today. Do you live near the Santa Monica mountains? Edit: oh, now I recognize you from Pelican- you are in Florida, right?

I believe that 901/06 and 901/07 were the Al versions of the 4 spd and 5 spd respectively for 1969. At the very end of November the Mg versions were introduced becoming 901/12 & 901/13 respectively. 901/06 & 901/12 were A HB S Z, and the 901/07 & 901/13 were A F M S Z.

My condolences to both families and to the other competitors. That is really tough. Dave
