First ad mentions the car needing a respray. The newer one says it had one recently? They might actually be different cars, though it's hard to believe if there were only four made...

Different cars. The "other" one has manual sports seats. The OP one has electric front and rear.

Interesting car but not really my thing - despite what it says in the ad it just screams money pit to me TBH.

Hope it gets saved by someone brave and rich :D

My ten pennyworth, they are two different cars. If anyone one wants any info on either then drop me a pm.

e23 B10's (or any e23 Alpina for that matter) is my thing, researched and located quite a few over the past 10 years now. Be a shame if this one gets broken though.

The e23 CAN be a money pit though, but this one has had loads spent on it and is very good bodily (after all that's where the major outlay is) but the interior is not original to this car.

And it still has all its original Alpina fixtures & fittings.
