Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : jimmyjttalamo@ukreps.com .
This 1969 BMW 1600-2 is in excellent condition with new Florida (code 066) paint. Manufactured on April 24th, 1969
and delivered on May 5th, 1969 to Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. It was first sold in California and moved
to Colorado in the late 80's. It was purchased by a BMW enthusiast in 2009 that took care of the mechanical issues
after sitting for several years in storage. I purchased it in 2012 and spent the last few years bringing it back to
its original condition. It underwent extensive rust repairs and a glass out respray including the trunk and door
jams. The engine bay was left the original paint since it was in excellent shape and I wanted to retain that
originality. It is a matching numbers car and currently registered in California.

Florida (green) is a rare color and very hard to find one for sale in this amazing condition. This is a true
classic that has been refreshed/restored with careful attention to keeping it as original as possible. The engine
bay is all original and unmolested! No wiring has been cut or spliced into. It even has much of the original
wrapping on the wires. Everything works! No electrical issues and no surprises. This is a rare opportunity to find
a unmolested, clean and well cared for 1969 Florida 1600-2.
A few things to note - The CA black plates shown in the photo's are for show and NOT the original plates or
registered. There is one small crack in the lower dashboard but a un-cracked replacement dashboard will be included
in the sale. Mileage is unknown since the cluster was restored but I suspect it has low miles given the cleanliness
of the engine bay. Lastly, the shifter bushings were replaced and now second gear feels tight. I do not believe it
is the syncros but rather the shifter needing adjustments.
