I'm back this time with a 16s! Je suis de retour avec cette fois une 16s!

Rappel du premier message :

Hi, after searching for a while across France with help from Fab, I managed to purchase an Oettinger 16s on my doorstep.. abut 2 hours away.

It's probably the first 16s to arrive in UK back in the 90's and has spent the last 13 years off the road so will need alot of bits upgrading, like the fuel system for starters. Also rust has crept in a little underneath near the rear axle mounting points and has some minor surface rust around the engine bay.

she has been in 2 magazines in the 90's with previous owner, plus i've found a couple of pics taken in 1996/7 when she was taken to Gti International..

plans are a full respray this winter, It has a black and grey stripe interior but i'm all ready halfway in sourcing the original red and black seats. Its not running yet, turns over ok but i've ordered some new fuel lines from rear to front so hope that helps the fuel problem and then enjoy.. unfortunately I have to work abroad for 6 months next year during the summer so wont get to much use out of her but if the timing is right i would love to come over to Dijon or wherever you guys are meeting next year.

  Salut, après avoir cherché pendant un certain temps à travers la France avec l'aide de Fab, j'ai réussi à acheter une 16s Oettinger devant ma porte .. buter à 2 heures.

C'est probablement les premiers à arriver 16s au Royaume-Uni dans les années 90 et a passé les 13 dernières années sur la route aura donc besoin beaucoup de bits de mise à niveau, comme le système de carburant pour les débutants. Aussi la rouille s'est glissée dans un sous peu près les points de montage d'essieu arrière et a un peu de rouille de surface mineure dans le compartiment moteur.

elle a été dans 2 magazines dans les années 90 avec le propriétaire précédent, plus j'ai trouvé quelques photos prises en 1996/7 quand elle a été prise à Gti international ..

plans sont un respray plein cet hiver, il a un intérieur rayé noir et gris mais je suis toute prête à mi-chemin dans le sourcing des sièges d'origine rouge et noir. Sa ne fonctionne pas encore, se retourne ok mais j'ai commandé des nouvelles conduites de carburant de l'arrière vers l'avant de sorte espoir qui aide le problème de carburant et ensuite profiter .. malheureusement, je dois travailler à l'étranger pendant 6 mois l'année prochaine durant l'été afin n'obtiendrez pas d'une grande utilité sur d'elle, mais si c'est le bon moment je voudrais bien venir à Dijon ou chaque fois que vous les gars sont réunis l'an prochain.

Hi, I managed to buy some Cibie front lights from England, thanks to you guys for the item code I found it on eBay. I've fixed the LCD clock as well.

still looking for the original specification grill and the front and rear badges. I nearly sent 200 euros to France for a set but have lost contact with the guy. So hope you guys can hurry up with the 3D printer idea!

the car will also have a respray in Novemeber so that it can be the correct colour and also fix a few imperfections that i'm not happy with.

Best of the new news is I found contact with the old owner who owned the car from 1989 to 1994 and who brought back to the UK with him after living in Monanco. He even gave me a few old photos of the car in 1990..

Hey Kris, sorry for the cibie , I didn't manage to order it for U in France. This year as every should 've noticed I don't have much time left for my car and our forum, cos I 'm completly involved in my new house and my move :/
Hope that U didn't pay to much on Ebay UK ? Could U give us the link cos I know that colibri1307 need a pair to for his white oettinger.

I don't really see what U mean :"I nearly sent 200 euros to France for a set but have lost contact with the guy. So hope you guys can hurry up with the 3D printer idea!"

Who's that guy ? Is there any problem ? Do U want us to contact him ? U paid and never get your stuff ?

Best ,
FAB
