Patched up highline with rusty E32 Alpina (allegedly) running gear. An interesting curiousity IF all the work has been done correctly but its a mutant, an 8k mutant.

Alpina did build around 3 B11 6 Series at the very end of E24 production. It's basically the same as the final B10's that were also based on the Highliner. Sytners offered it as a conversion to existing cars.

I'm curious about this car but not to the point of wanting to buy it. That said, it's very handy to me if anyone's (seriously) interested in having it given a look over..

Hold on.... That is beside me

Never seen it on the road mind... must be a garage queen

The same ad on gumtree says Ballymena bab..

That makes sense, very little of interest goes for sale in Antrim.
If it was closer I would of offered to poke around it.
You not in Ballymena?

Live in Belfast but family still live in Bmena area so I'm down there regularly enough..

And I'm not going to dignify that with a reply Andy hie!

(Did you buy the 'pina 28? You know the one I mean...)

Is it an Alpina? Or has someone just put the Alpina bits on a highline? I don't see a plaque?

Post Wed Jul 18, 2012 8:31 pm

I was hoping it would stay local! 'Twas a lovely thing. I'll have one of those one day.. Am I right in thinking your stable currently lacks an Alpina?

(bab - it was an Alpina E28 that was up for sale in Belfast that both Andy and myself were lusting after!)

Post Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:31 pm

Ah I see. I thought I was missing something. So you have competition.

Good Hunting!
