Ideally, I would have liked e21 items like yours but the cost was just too much - well over a grand! My seats have cost me less than 150 quid all in!

Hopefully, mine should look a bit better once they/ve been cleaned and the leathers been fed. I used scuff coat on the fronts and they came up a treat!

No freaking way!! That is awesome, congrats!

Where did you find this one then? Really love the colour, never seen the alpina in that colour, mint interior too!

Is this yours or are you brokering it for someone?

Shit! That car used to live around the Islington area about 15 years ago, I used to leave notes on the screen offering to buy it. I also used to see it driving through Hackney on my way to work about the same time.
Where did you buy it from?

yeah recognise that car , a turkish guy i knew many years back had that car when a mate was alive im talking back in 1990 and all i remember he used to thrash that car something rotten, like wheel spins and also he managed to blow the cylinder head along the cam shaft area, and he said he replaced it head now im not sure if he replaced with an original alpina or slipped an 885 head on it, but check that just in case!!! im sure this was the car!!! looks nice!! also i think this is the car i also saw at frits bits a few years back in the workshop...

That was the thing I remember about this car was the way it had deteriorated a little more every time I saw it, which made the fact he never return my calls that little more galling. Glad to see it up & about back to it's former glory

Got is as a straight swap for the blue 316 as the guy wanted a car for his wife to use as a runaround.

Good result!!! any pictures of the engine in all angles? also the dash clock area interior, would be good to have a look clearly!! Good result mark knowing its gone to a good driver who would look after it rather than trashing it around thinking its just another old car if you see what i mean!!

OK, I'm going to come clean. It's not mine. Belongs to this guy, Lee, but he popped round for a chat today.

The cars really nice. Maybe needs a few bits and bobs but there's loads of potential.
Jimmy was right, the car went to Fritz many moons ago but unfortunately it's not as he hoped it would be after all that work. New head, Schrick cam etc etc. Anyway, should soon bump the numbers up at the Ace Cafe in the New Year.

No - it's NOT for sale!

when i went to frits to have a chat with richard about my diff we were sitting in his unit and i was next to this car having coffee, i sat in it and is comfortable, and was told alot of work went into this car or something but i wasnt interested to be truthful i went there on business to do my car.... its seats are comfortable, inviting..

So whats the story with fritz? what did they do to the car what happened? you buying it or ????

Nice motor. I have seen this motor in the summer drive past me and told my brother (mobster) about it. Is he on the forum.
