Some of you will remember the Hartge H26 touring that has been around for years and that it appeared on Ebay a few weeks back ?

well as much as I Hate tourings (only ever owned them to break ) 8O because there was Hartge content and i am Ill...I went to have a look,
I was suprised at how tidy it was so a deal was done..

hopefully with some minimal work I will have this ready to smoke around in this summer,
you will no doubt come across it at the usual meets :D

here's a few pics from when it was dropped off..

Image

Nice ! only other RHD console Dials I have come across are in Ians H27 cab

Image


the comfort cloth simply has to go..

Image


I quite like Auto's and the Hartge switch logic system had me wondering, this is probably what made me go to view just for a nosy...

Image

select 1-2-3 on the BMW switchable Autobox , and this little lever allows you to tell the box when to change up or down..
quite clever really,




to be continued :D

Wow, not seen that kicking around for a while. I remember when the days this always seemed to be forsale.

Where's it been hiding?

Looks great from the outside - stripes and wheels are :cool:

Not a fan of the Hartge interior bits though - that steering wheel is terrible :eek:

This car used to be owned by a zoner years ago, used to be a regular at the shows.

Still looks in good straight condition.

I drove this about 10-12 years ago. 8O

It was owned by Kevin Royle from the BMWCC. The Fagtronic bit works well enough.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
