Thinking of selling my Alpina C2 27, It is a regretable decision but now it is becoming a garage ornament and also you just carn't leave these cars anywhere in fear of anything happening, Don't really know what to ask for it, It has an agreed valuation with the insurance which I won't say what that it. I just wanted to know what you guys think?

We think you should tell us what the agreed valuation is, and see if we agree!:)

I think insurance valuation and what they actually sell for is different, I just want to see what you think?

any pics

Yeh try and get some on.

You'll need to provide a bit more info:

Age, mileage, spec, 2dr, Moredoor, Touring, Alpina trinkets, history, pics

Basically, write a for sale ad!

Well the car itself is a Delphin grey coupe, mileage is 1750000 but had a total rebuild at roughly 1700000 with all the pics to prove,has full re-trimmed black leather, 6 branch Alpina manifold etc etc. It was at Gaydon and Santa Pod,but don't know how to get pics on here lol Can anyone tell me? I will do a proper write up on this there is loads more.

Yeh that would be a one off lol, its 175000 but this car is nice.

Hi bem sorry to see u are thinking of selling up having seen your car in the summer at the coalville meet. Nice car should have no problems selling.

Has it got C227*** as the reg?

Yeh and me but i'm becoming a bit to obsessed with it now and everything has to done and looking right and not sure if i want to be paranoid when it comes to taking it out,if you can understand what i mean,thinking of getting a sport instead.

Thats the problem if you put a lot of work into a car u just dont want to leave it anywhere.I think you will have your work cutout trying to find a decent sport these days.

Do you know the car Barry? Pre this owner etc...

I seen it at the Coalville meet too and it looked good.


Would look good in your garage andy...

I know what you mean but there must be some good ones out there, thats the trouble you only need some dickhead to take a shine to it or take a key down the side and i would be gutted so iv decided to sell probably change my mind tomoz lol.

What next to the sport jim :

look forward to getting the pics, but not always the best time of year to sell around November - end of Jan. i'd be inclined to market it next summer, money should be strong if its a good write up with decent pics.
what year is it - is it manual, how original is it?
there is one of classic heroes with half your milage for £16k which I think is too much as couple of zoners went to look at it when WLN had it and didn't rate it.

It is a 1989 I'm the fourth owner,it is manual and it is all orignal total rebuild inside and out. Since the rebuild in 2010 it has done about 6000 mile on a total rebuilt engine which cost £3000 and gear box which cost £600,underneath is just as clean as the outside.[/img]

Can fully appreciate that. I had a low mileage/original panels and paint rs500 and taking it out was getting to be a nightmare with lots of idiots about.Just one in the wrong place would have meant the originality gone forever
Good choice with a Sport though ...but you may well find you get obsessed with that as well!?

Pics? Let's have a look at it!

This must be the one, pics are from Coalville meet...

Not keen on the "brows" but otherwise that looks lovely!

The interior lets it down imo.

I was not keen either so i took them off looks better.

as for the interior was not happy myself so ad it re done, tried to find the alpina b6s interior but might as well as tried to find the holy grail lol.

5K?

5K?

Good move.

Any interior pics please?

umm I like that a lot, and i'd be interested if I was cash rich which im not

however I do have pretty good 1990 sport which just had an inspection 2, and some new parts. body work wise its quite good although I haven't had the panels off.

if all goes well it be going down to Barry's end of Jan to get the kit taken off, waxoiled and the suspension refreshed. Barry said there is 3 tiny bits of rust but scuttle and arches are strong

if you still have your car come March would you be interested in cash plus my sport, its manual, 123,000 miles and in lovely granite silver

Wln was asking 9k for his with leather and air con, plus 90k mileage.....but an auto does not interest me in the slightest no matter how nice and original. On the flip side now classic heroes is asking 17 k for it which is just plain silly when you can still get a decent e30 m3 for 25k with maybe a little higher mileage. But give me a dogleg manual m3 over an alpina auto any day of the week.
