Surfing for an 02 today I found a 1974 Alpina for sale. It is listed on two websites at two different prices. Same exact car same pictures.

Classic cars UK lists it for 49k

2002 AD lists it for 74k

What gives?

How can the car physically exist in two places?

2002AD often advertise cars (on consignment?) for the Owners. Several of the Turbos on 2002AD over the past few years have actually been in Japan.

That '74 Alpina is in the UK.

Looks like being this one:

And IMHO price on the UK site might be somewhere near to appropriate considering uniqueness and obviously great conditions. US price is far from worth a discussion. But as always: Market decides - you only gotta find a buyer to pay.

This one gets around, but, without actually going anywhere.

It was for sale May '09 for £40,000 (yes GB£), the classiccarsforsale.co.uk ad uses the same pictures from 2009, so I suspect it is the same Owner.

It was for sale at Munich Legends, Sussex, in July this year, but I guess it was on consignment.

I guess it may now sell for the noted £29,995.

Yes, as others here have pointed out, this car is physically in the UK, but its owner has asked us to market it for him in the US. The price we have for it, which is in $, was set when he asked us to help sell the car, which was a while ago. We have no control over its price in the UK, before or currently.

Regards,

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
