Man, I agree.  Great looking car.  I've been toying with the idea of doing sort of a Ti tribute but instead of the solex's, going EFI and using those Jenvey DCOE throttle bodies and MS.  This car is giving me even more ideas.

Like I've said before, make it a hot rod an don't open the hood.  Just tell them it's stock and that's why they were so popular back in the day.  Smile, then walk away.  I do it every time someone asks.  Except for the one time that one guy said,"That's not suppose to have 5 lug wheels."  That guy was ok.

Got to love those e21 turbines!!?

Hate to be snarky, but you'd think the Mecom folks would have inserted the cigarette lighter into its socket before they took those interior pictures.  Otherwise, it really looks great and authentically Alpina--even down to that peculiar orange hose that connects the airbox with the great outdoors.  

 

Wouldn't throw it out of my garage!

It was bid to just $27000.   I think that if it were on BAT, that would probably be the opening bid. 

 

I wonder if the seller is aware of BAT. 

 

No love lost at Mecum and 2002's.

Whaaaat?  27?  That's impressive.

Next potential step for my 69...

Hmm...

OK, that sold for $27k?  OMG I have to lie down in a dark room with a cold compress for a while.  

 

That thing is cool.  Maybe a dealer bought it and we’ll see it for sale for $75, in a couple of weeks.

I think it was bid to 27, not sold for 27.  Amazing that that was the high bid.  As mentioned above, that thing would kill it on BAT...

The wheels let the whole car down in my opinion. That and the abundance of badging, both easily remedied.

Lovely little car!
