BMW's exquisite 5. 7-litre, 850 CSi dusted with Alpina magic..
From the legendary Alpina stable, this V12, 5. 7 litre, six-speed manual, right-hand drive B12 Coupé serves up a healthy 416 b. h. p. and a top speed of 189 mph. In total, Alpina built 57 examples powered by their 5. 7-litre B2 engine, and only seven of these E31 850 super coupés were right-hand drive, making this a very rare car. Thought to be one of only five remaining, chassis #13, along with three other Alpina B12s, was originally destined for the Sultan of Brunei's collection. Two were delivered, the other pair only getting as far as the Sultans Singapore dealer. By 2001 it became apparent that he would not be taking delivery, so the remaining two Alpinas (chassis #10 and #13) were acquired by Sytners BMW in the United Kingdom where they were both sold to Sir Anthony Bamford. This meant that #13 was first registered on the 28th of November 2001, some eight years after it was manufactured.
The current (2nd) custodian purchased #13 from Graypaul in March 2004 when it had only covered 7, 000 kilometres (The Sultan of Brunei usually requested U. K. specification cars with a metric speedometer). Factory fit options included sun blinds, sports seats and the hot climate spec (no heated seats but more powerful air conditioning.)
Regularly maintained, including servicing at Sytner and Soper BMW main dealers, and supplied with a comprehensive history file, BMW 850CSi owner's manual, fully stamped service book, Alpina build-sheet and two Alpina supplementary manuals, this car has obviously been cossetted. The wheels have been freshly refurbished and the dark blue leather interior has been Connolised, complementing the deep shine of the Mauritz Blue exterior.
This athletic Alpina is ready and waiting to be enjoyed and would reward any inspection.
(Please note that the vendor will be retaining the cherished number plate).
