A plus

This is a 1965 example of the BMW 1800 TI, a high-performance saloon prepared by Alpina - but not as you know it. The seller tells us that this vehicle is part of a special series of two, created for use as service vehicles by a BMW dealership.

A full pick-up conversion has been carried out, including several storage compartments for parts and a flat rear bed with supports. It is finished in a white colour with BMW Martini Racing-style decals, and is in good overall condition, ready for use.

The TI version is one of the rarest and most sought-after models in BMW's 'Neue Klasse' series. This example takes exclusivity one step further. It would be perfect as a support vehicle for a BMW collection or could offer commercial opportunities if you run a workshop specialising in vintage vehicles. Either way, expect to strike up fascinating conversations wherever you go with this vehicle.
