Welcome to the neighborhood. I assume you are located in the Northwest? That is a very rare coupe color and low miles.

Welcome, great color, looks like a really nice coupe, congratulations.

Great car!

I've never seen a coupe in Bristol, is it original?

 

[Ski coach]

Welcome! Your car looks like a beauty. Post more pictures when you get it here and sorted.

Bristol is a lovely colour!

Looks like you bought the car from Janzen Klassik.

Interesting dealer. He´s been able to find some real gems in the last years. Often totally orginal, low mileage, excellently cared for (i believe he has good contacs into Switzerland where such rarities can sometimes be found).

Funny that yours is going back to the US.
He so often buys cars in the US and ships them to germany (mostly Porsches and Mercs though), he should be able to stuff your E9 into the latest container that arrives at his door and just send it right back. Reuse the packaging, so to say...

Very observant regarding Janzen, but it looks like you live nearby. Yes, Michael there is selling me the car. I met him a couple years ago at Pebble Beach. Looking forward to getting the CS. Will post a couple more pics soon. Bill

Nice looking E9.

I thought that Bristol was quite grey (gray in the US).

This might be Pacific Blue!

Cheers.

Not, it isn´t. That´s bristol allright. A real battleship grey. It´s just the lighting in the pictures that makes it look slighly blueish

Bristol/blue '71 CS--a few more pictures

Looks like I'll need one of the larger red-handled screwdrivers for the tool kit.
