Post Thu Jul 28, 2011 5:54 pm

Post Thu Jul 28, 2011 7:59 pm

auto

not the end of the world but i'm out

I would quite like the Bi Turbo if cheap enough. Maybe 5k?

Post Fri Jul 29, 2011 5:26 pm

its bloody cheap as is really imo sh!t colour but you can't be too picky with them

Post Fri Jul 29, 2011 6:56 pm

Yes, it is a dreadful colour! I wouldn't want to pay more than 5K myself, it could be a whole heap of trouble!

Post Fri Jul 29, 2011 9:12 pm

Fookin 'ell - in the 1st ad a 110L fuel tank is mentioned - over £150 to fill up

Post Fri Jul 29, 2011 10:06 pm

The tank was rusty inside unfortunately!

I'm hoping to get some decent photos tomorrow.

A 'cheap' Scottish BiTurbo with a running problem, this will not end well/ cheaply !

PS, I am assuming the original keeper was a MR S Wonder. What a vile colour scheme

i.e take the price of a nice original well maintained car with history, add ten grand and then another five for luck. The same story with E34 M5's. No such thing as a cheap one.

Which car?

Post Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:38 am

The one is only £2000? Surely that's worth just the engine for an E30 swap if the car is shit, if nothing else??

Even saying this, I new I would spark up opposition......

its true though, a hard car to value but if the auto box is slipping and it has holes in the cills then its looking dicey for a 200,000 mile alpina of any sort.

I'm badly tempted would be an epic chariot, its gagging for some manual conversion and a front spoiler. Would be quite quick then i think.

the bi-turbo. he had two e34 alpinas for sale IIRC, one was thought to be a fake. I would have gone for a look at the bi-turbo had it not been in the worst spec i have ever seen one in and the other one was not fake.

Post Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:41 pm

different car guys, the green one turned out to be a B3.5 and he is now selling his Bi-T. The thread is here on PH

http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.as ... mid=102018

The green one posted up on RR is a genuine e34 B10 3.5.

If its as good as it looks, is that price really too much?

As for that silver V8 B10, first one I've seen.

Totally agree, those seats are truly dreadful.

I thought £73 to fill up my E30 was bad enough!!!

Post Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:01 pm

Bi-T's can never be bought and run on a shoe string, that includes filling the tank!

Post Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:12 pm

I suppose your right, I wouldn't buy that to worry about MPG!!

Post Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:44 pm

So, do we think the Bi T is a fake?

Thats defiantly real.

I got photos of the car today, the interior doesn't look as awful as I had feared!

But, I have also started this thread!
