1967 BMW 1600: A Bimmer Named Derby
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2020
- Besides being one of the most roundly loved BMW platforms, the 02 series is commonly credited with defining the brand as a maker of well-engineered but practical cars that were more engaging to drive than their price points. Across the wide range of 02s, one is easily drawn to the higher performance tii and Turbo models, but the joys of classic BMW motoring are not limited by horsepower. In the case of Lisa, the owner of this gorgeous 1967 BMW 1600-2, the 84hp four-pot is plenty of power for the task.
She loves driving “Derby,” but finds at least as much enjoyment in finding a scenic place to park and relax with a good book and the company of a vehicle that helps balance a busy existence. In other words, driving a slow car fast will always be fun, but there’s a unique pleasure to be had in cutting all the hurry out of your day, if only for a short cruise at a time. To keep up with Lisa and her BMWs, you can follow her on Instagram @motolisa02p.

Always Drive Tastefully® 
Авто/Мото
Hi everyone! Lisa here. Thank you so much for watching Derby's video. Can't thank Petrolicious enough for putting out content that's "tastefully" done for us car enthusiasts! I would like to thank the videographer Sean Fannin who came out to shoot Derby in such a creative way! I would also like to thank Bay Area local Jim Huff who had an quick cameo appearance in this video with his 4 door 1600 Neue Klasse BMW. You can catch his petrolicious video called "the Grey Ghost" also on Petrolicious. My car enthusiast friends are all one of a kind and I enjoy seeing them at car events and just driving around on the roads! As mentioned in the video, appreciating cars are in our blood and we all speak the same language. Take care out there and drive tastefully!
Lisa, you may be the only person I know (of) who shares my feelings about driving and owning a nice car.
As you put it at the end of the video, it may look as we here in Europe like to trash our own cars.... Anyway, very well done, my Lady, I couldn't agree more with you about everything (my daily drive is a 1976 pastellblau 316 e21). Only difference, I do not wear gloves because I love to touch the bakelite steering wheel, it reminds me of my dad's cars, some 45 years ago!!!! Keep it up (and hope Tesoro is still there;-)
I have watched this a few times. My GF pointed out to me that I get into a meditative state when I am driving my old "sports cars". I love to see your motorsport experiential videos.
These are the types of videos that Petrolicious does the best. Seemingly average people restoring and using average cars to live with for what may seem a lifetime. Great stuff.
Amen man!
I'm from germany and my grandfather used to drive a lot of those BMW's and other small cars like NSU TT, NSU Prinz or the old Fiat 500.
I think that was the most glorious time of the automobile. Small cars, but tons of fun :)
True. Bud sadly they do not do these videos anymore. I rather sadly unsubscribed a few weeks ago. No videos of passionate owners showing their vehicles with great footage, only a presenter, presenting a borrowed car. Not a generally bad concept, but covered extensively by others, Petrolicious was different.
The BMW 1600 was the car I wanted in the '60s along with the MINI Cooper S. Now at age 75, I've never owned a BMW but do enjoy my 2006 Supercharged MINI John Cooper Works.
I remember her from the Tesoro episode. What an elegant lady and true car enthusiast
Pristine car, owner who knows perfectly the history of her car and loves it. This is the kind of vídeo I like more. The car’s brand or model doesn’t matter.
2:12 She knows how to do heel and toe shift ♥️
She can do it in heels, too.
Awesome car. Kudos to Lisa to being a great caretaker to it and getting out there to DRIVE. This video nails it. 100%
This is my favorite kind of owner- one that knows and respects their car enough to genuinely care for it, and one that sees the historical importance of keeping it original. I refuse to do any modifications to my 2007 Charger, even though it could use many just to keep it driveable. It breaks down on me quite a bit, but Lord knows it'll be in my garage as an old man.
Analog can really help clear the mind.
Beautiful piece of history
New BMWs are fabulous cars but the old ones speak to me.
yup ,i think they are pretty much the benchmark for all sedans
New BMWs are soulless computer trash...........
@Antonio Farina so what? ;)
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo Many newer luxury cars are (with the exception of specifically made performance models) because people want a higher end car car to isolate them from the noise, vibration, and temperature of the road and the car itself. It ends up making for a bland driving experience to enthusiasts. I like my '08 W204 C300, especially on longer drives, but I absolutely LOVE my '74 W115 240D because it has character and it engages the driver.
This is why I don't want cable anymore...thank you Lisa for your pure passion.....
Wünderbar Lisa. I convinced my wife back around 1986 that we needed this yellow 1968 1602 that was being sold by a Portuguese gentleman who came down from then Rhodesia to South Africa. R 3000 rand later she was in service transporting me to work to Bedfordview Primary School. My 1st teaching post in a trendy up market suburb that i taught physical education and English. Being a primary school the students were 13 years old max. I was always last to arrive and the pupils would run after me as i parked her just a minute before the school bell. The kids found the car remarkably fun , as it was the oldest and not in the status ranking of their parents daily posh cars. For 2 years they delighted the arrival and always just in time yellow flying machine. Today it's parked in my storage waiting for a bolt n nut restoration which I've delayed for decades. Have many offers to take her off my back but turned them all down. I may get to it and ship it off to my daughter in Denver California. Not sure that would be wise as it is right hand drive. ITS always fun and inspiring watching your videos. Keep up the good work and passion. Greetings from Johanesburg S.A.
One day I was on the bay bridge in the evening, heading towards SF and the cash lanes were packed and people were having trouble merging. Couple cars back I noticed a gorgeous white BMW 2002 tii was trying to merge, so I rolled down my window and waved him to come merge in front of me. When he got up next to me, I said Beautiful car and gave him 👍🏻👍🏻 and he said thank you! I let him merge in front of me and then when we got to the toll, he payed the $6 toll for me!! That literally made my day haha!
I just love the sound of this car, so much soul.
Derby was on Jay Leno's Garage. I hope Jay has her and her black 2002 on someday.
He had his choice at the time and preferred to do an older, more original car.
I had a 1967 1600-2 in Turf green; I bought it in 1972 and drove it daily until 1985. Named it Rolf. It had been imported to Massachusetts, then I bought it in Michigan and drove it through Ontario and Quebec through the mountains of Vt, NH and ME (awesome trip in that car). Then drove it cross-country when I moved back to CA - 75 to 85 mph all the way, humming along at 4500 to 5000 rpm all day long without a whimper (4.11 differential in those, so acceleration wasn't bad for the time). Used to drive it hard up Hwy 1 from SF to visit my brother in Gualala on the north coast, similar country to that in your video. Twisty 20 to 35 mph curves - perfect for that car - what a blast all the way, heel toe 3rd to 2nd, back up to 3rd, back down again, and so on! Kept it another 10 years but never had time to restore, so sold it to a guy from LA who really wanted it. I felt like it was going to a good home. Obviously your video brought back great memories - thanks Lisa!
Thanks much for having Lisa back with one of her cars.
Wonderful car. Lovely young lady. Great video - wonderful entertainment even years later. ;)
Thanks for posting.
Love the 1600/2002 cars of that time. When I was 20 I worked on BMW racing cars and spent several hours test driving an orange and black 1600 Alpina at Willow Springs. I believer the car is somewhere in a museum in SoCal. Fun times!
Lisa...great stuff....It is nice to see a woman being a true German classic car enthusiast here in California.....
My first BMW was a 1969 2002ti bought from an Airforce Capt that imported it to California. That year I bought it (1973) was only a handful of BMW's imported here to the states. It was so unique that while driving it no one knew what they really were. I went on owning 3 more 02's during my Bimmer years! Nice video.....miss Northern California!
I had one when I was a kid.
I swapped a guitar for it.
A fun car to drive.
A wonderful pull in 3rd gear.
Like a sports car.
I live in Glen Ellen California.
And I drive those Coastal roads all the time. Cool video.
I’ve seen this car in the groups. Lisa is the right owner for this car. Great work
It's good that a car like this is being kept original. Please, never mess that up!
I love the Bmw e10, I have a 2002 from 1969 and I would never separate!!
Beauty old school motoring! Thanks!
I Loved this… so very cool - all original. - the other Petrolicious episode Lisa’s black 2002 Tesoro is ACE! ❤️
Another great video with Lisa's cars. Thanks.
When I learned to drive I was 18 years old, the legal age to learn to drive here in Switzerland. I learned to drive on a BMW 1602, it was such a good car to learn on, it was forgiving and strong enough. It was a 4 speed manual. I am 62 now and have had a VW Bug, a Citroën 2CV4, a Citroën GS 1200. Then I moved to the US and got myself a Renault 5 which I had to sell soon again, nobody was capable of making it run right at the time. So I got a Ford Grand Torino (1967) and that was just so much fun. then a Datsun, Isuzu Truck, then moved back to Switzerland again, got a Nissan, two European Fords, a few Mazdas and two Hondas. I've stuck to Hondas, they are the best and most reliable cars (for me at least), never something spectacular but I love them.
At the moment I own a Civic Type R and am feeling juvenile once again, life is so much fun and good :-), it goes like stink on the German Autobahn!
If I had the space and the time (I should once I retire) I'd then love to have a few of my old cars back again if possible. The 1602 would be one of them for sure, was a good car to drive.
Once again a very nice video, thanks so much for sharing!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Lisa's love and passion for this car and her fellow enthusiasts is very inspiring! Classic cars will live on forever for future generations to enjoy because of people like her! ❤
Damn, gotta respect this gal man for being a true car enthusiast. That steering wheel is like a bus steering wheel. I'm into japanese cars myself. I have an orange 2015 Civic Si coupe, currently with 28K miles, that I pamper. But I'm in the hunt for a decent low-mileage CRX, which are hard to come by. There was a 1988 on auction with only 33K miles that sold for over $30K. Very hard to find, but I'm pretty determined.
As an owner of six BMW 2002ti, I've only congrats this lady and wish she keep up running her Derby.
Much inspiring for such times we're living. Can't wait to drive mine!
Congratulations Lisa for your good automotive taste. I particularly like the 2002 BMW first generations and yours is magnificent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Look at her heel&toe. I absolutely love it. Great video Petrolicious, wonderful car, and owner.
i could listen her talk about bmw all day long
This is by far my favorite Petrolicious video to date. Well done. Great choice of car, owner, and story.
Love the driving location. Long sweeping clear roads and beautiful scenery.
The background music is perfect 👌🏽
4:35 the last owner isn‘t that far away from where i live🙈(less than 20km)...the world is sooo small
This Young Lady "gets it". So refreshing :-)
Thanks for posting. I had the same car about 15 years ago. They are great cars
Basic, classic, and euphoric... through and through. 😎 Love these era of BMWs.
@Antonio Farina true but we build it 😘
One of the nicest car videos I've seen for a long time. Driving PCH is a life long dream for us Europeans. But we have the beautiful Gardesana and windy little Tuscany roads instead :-)
Beautiful car. Such understated class...
Awesome to see the 1600 sedan from the older video, I love that thing!
My favorite car of my childhood! Specially the 2002 edition! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Antonio Farina and build by german engineers 😘😘
Great Car Great Owner. What a wonderful world
Thanks for the inspiration Lisa!!
Simple. Perfect. Thank you.
I had 1969 and was a great car.
Lisa, you are Amazing ! Long life to you and Derby :)
Un trabajo y una pasión increíble 👏👏👏👏
Lovely story and really nice car!
Beautiful and in the hands of the right owner!
Beautiful video. I’ve been following Lisa and her beautiful bmws for couple years, ever since she was first featured on petrolicious and Jay Leno’s Garage
So cool 😎. Really classic car ! And nice voice of Lisa)) good luck and be safe !
I love this car and the owner too
I swore at my age I would never, never do this again,.... but I am in love.... lol
Fantastic review! And that looks like Norther CA, north of San Francisco. I loved these old 1600's and 2002's and really appreciate the unmolested, original condition of this car. Thank you!
Great production all around.
Very nice car, remember me of old times ...
Amazing story with an amazing car and driver
Lovely car. I had 69 02 and a 72 02. Loved them so much! I'm jealous! ;)
What agreat video, and I've never thought 4-bangers sounded good but this one sure does! One of my high-school buds had a 1602 but he ended up with an early 2002 automatic (ugh).
I am not a BMW guy but lisa just convinced me. The stick shift is a deal breaker.
My uncle sold my father a repainted Navy Blue 1602 in the late 90s. At the time, I must have been 12 years old so I couldn't drive it but now kick myself in the butt. I remember the car has rust underneath the rear side glass, but given the year, the car was in fantastic shape. At the time I thought, what a piece of junk. Now here I am, wanting a 1602 in my garage...
Great to see Jim Huff 1600 Neue Klasse in the video. Go 1600NK.
Another nice car & story on Petrolicious. Thank you
One of your best.
Really cool , thanks!
Very nice. My first BMW was an 1802 followed by 2002 tii 😄
Nice to see another video with Lisa :-)
Another great production.
I now want one.
Oh my GOD this girl is AWESOME!!!! Perfectly said, every word!!!
This car is so suited for her.
Practical and elegant!
I had one of these 1967, 1600. Palo Alto CA 1975
Amazing,very cool
thank you for sharing it while we are locked down. theres not much on you tube being posted as well. btw where is this? the roads are just lovely
Marin County, the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge along Tomales Bay on Highway 1 in California. Arguably some of the best driving roads in the country. Even better since it's been repaved.
Awesome car, awesome driver, awesome video! :) Also, looks like this was shot out near Tomales Bay in Western Marin County, CA! (I used to live in Sonoma County and would drive out there all the time in my Saab wagon...what a nice part of Highway 1!)
Beautiful car👍
DOP is next level always 😍
love the roads!
I know of her. I follow her on IG and I love her enthusiasm and knowledge of the car.
The 1600 was also available in a 1969 model. I bought a used one in 1972 for $1300. The color was Tampico Beige. I sold it in 1979 for $1300 to buy a used 320i. I wish is still had the 1600.
Thank yo petrolicious for this masterpiece these days!
well made, ty
Love me some Tamales Bay views!
Chucks are the best driving shoes.
This is epitome of a driver! She said it best, “the car is meant to be driven.” So tired of car enthusiasts wanting to put everything on a pedestal in a fancy garage.
Awesome editing skills. The video is so dope
Makes me miss my first car so much
Of course, Derby and the Grey Ghost born to drive..
Name of road? Looks suspiciously like coastal NorCal. Love the whole vibe of this and all Petrolicous films. Real people and their passion for non mainstream vintage vehicles! Drive on!

@@martingardens I was thinking Jenner on the Russian River Rd. but wasn't sure. Always looking for new roads to poach!
What a beautiful person.
Always liked and wanted a 1600. We really need more basic cars like this today. New BMWs have no appeal to me.
Fun car!
Great story...Too bad video can't capture the smell of old cars like that. There is definitely a unique atmosphere and spirit to those older German cars.
