One of the few - must be someone out there interested.
No association etc

Looks nice in the pics!

Dameon, could this car answer your wanted if it's the right colour?

Unfortunately not Simon.

The seller is undergoing treatment for colour blindness as we speak. The car is actually Diamond Black! It is also a bit of a barn find I fear. 'we put a battery on it and took it for an MOT' type thing.

As the car is in surrey and the seller is unable to tell Black and Blue apart I was going to introduce him to Simon13

I am thinking of going to view this car tomorrow, is there anything in particular with regard to proving its authenticity? (I am ok on the mechanical and structural side of things thanks) as usual a search shows it up as a 325i touring and I don't think there is much in the way of paperwork with it so will be going on whatever physical evidence I can find. You have to worry when it looks like a late touring with Alpina's and the badges on it!

Has anyone bought this yet?

I didn't think it would be around for long at that price...

has it sold then? i could have blue and black!

Cheers for the advice fella's.............................

Did you go and see it?

Where is the car? i might go and have a mince

It's in Chobham, GU24 8HJ


By the sounds of it the guy has the original Sytner buildsheet and works invoice. The front spoiler was deleted at order but the rest is vaaaaaaaaague.

Thats 2 min from you si!!

if it would stop raining i'd go and look now i've seen how close it is. 1 of 14 i've heads up my bro in law so who knows.

I might go look in the rain as i'm curious

just got back it's the real deal but a strange one.............

any further comments si?

In what way. Strange as in it's sitting on your drive now?

well it might* be soon. I don't want to say now to stop you lot from coming up and taking it! Taken as an unwanted P/X guy selling doesn't have a clue and doesn't really care!

It's been in staines the last 10 years and then manchester. I don't know about the first owner. Loads of history but the service book is gone. BUT theres a copy of the original sytners build sheet for about £9,500 the engine was half of that. and "no front spoiler to be fitted" on it.

Thing is i've always understood it as an alpina green 4 door "on the J" was the last conversion but this is on a K reg and by the looks a 92 built touring

Front spoiler delete. Thats a strange one isn't it?

indeed but everything else to be fitted. It needs work engine bay is minging as in dirt, rear top mounts are f**ked. Gearnob has been chewed up. Theres a load of advisorys on the mot worn drop links front,tyre low and a few others. It failed the first because of a bad leak from the back box. but has a full ticket now. The backbox has new straps but is fitted badly. There was a whine from the back seemed like a wheel bearing but i'm not 100% sure. Drivers seat is worn on the base but it isn't hanging. Headlinging doesn't sag!

Tailgate is rusty, front wing dented. Paintwork is ok but the car was wet so i couldn't really see properly

does she go ok?

might do, i don't want to say the good bits!

1 of 14 so i've been told.

Cagey bar steward

i'll get some pictures up when we collect it this week hopefully

Alpina top mounts on the front on this puppy nice, original cylinder head still fitted also. Alloy wishbones. I've got a spare diamond black alpina front spoiler sitting in my garage. All the bits are still fitted just needs some love and it will be a nice chariot again

Did you buy it?

Yes well it's held on a deposit that i had to get my sister to drop round there as i was Sat in Heathrow waiting to go to Amsterdam on a stag do!

I just couldn't let the third C2 touring slip away again! I've gone halfs though with my bro-in-law. Fighting over who's name is going on the log book!

Facking TOP MAN. Cant wait to see this one.

Trev in need you to work your engine bay cleaning skills on this one it's filthy in there?!

it's got MOT for a year but i can't remember if it's taxed, but we'll try and bring it up to guildfor next week after the ring.

Has it got the grey cam cover and inlet fannymould?

I won't be at the guildford meet mate. I'll be gambling in vegas trying to win five and a half bags!!

it certainly does have grey inlet and rocker cover. Paint doesn't look to bad for chips and peeling either! Another comparison for you?

Trev i'll drive it over to you 1 weekend for some TFR action? it's not urgent

Yea no probs anytime. i may have a different car in my garage too.

??? go on!
