About this 1972 BMW Bavaria

VIN: 3101756

Two oner. Purchased new by wife's brother in 1972, we purchased in 1974. Weber carbs replaced originals in 1981, still have the originals.
New speedometer in 1991, so actual total milage 106200 now.
Air conditioner not working, doesn't hold freon and I don't like the York compressor anyway.
Clutch master cylinder has a very slow leak. I carry extra hydraulic fluid just in case.
Parts saved to restore to original, except for the egr tube which was destroyed.
Numerous spare parts.
Drivable, but it is 50+ years old, so I wouldn't venture on a long trip. Call me old and cautious.
Original metallic paint crazed, repainted a slightly darker green, but the original color is still on the non-exposed surfaces.
