Description
I am selling my Alpina B9, in an Opal Green Metallic, one of 70 cars made by Alpina for the UK market and maybe less than half left. So this is a rare car.
I have done a full nut and bolt restoration on this car, with loads of new parts.
The car was selected to represent Alpina's 60th celebration at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year on the Cartier Lawn, with only 5 other cars.
The car has a file full of history and spent a lot of time in the West Yorkshire area, with an auction brochure included from many years ago.
Restoration Works Done listed below:
Mechanical: Gearbox, Diff and running gear, serviced, oiled and where necessary seals replaced.
New bushes fitted throughout.
Engine: complete overhaul.
Brakes: new brake lines. Refurbished brake callipers and with new seals. New brake discs/ pads and Brake covers.
Suspension: new/ refurbished Springs and Bilstein suspension, serviced by Cornering force. Front and rear stuts powder coated, with new foam inserts.

I am sure there is more to add, so any questions please come back to me.
Some pictures show the car as the work was being done, but it is now complete. Why am I selling..... I have another B9 which has been painted but not finished and will take another 9 months to complete, plus I have a few other e28 projects, which again will be another 9 months, and I cant keep them all, so unfortunately for me, this is the only one that is in a position to sell, as it runs drives and will have an MOT done in the next two weeks.
This car is a true collectors car. It looks brand new. A future classic investment being the best Alpina B9 in the UK, maybe Europe.
