She's beautiful! :cool:

What an amazing transformation too from when you first got it! It's a credit to you! I have the magazine infront of me now!

Good luck with the sale (but keep it if you can!). :D

Great looking car - read about it in the magazine feature! Didn't think I'd seen or heard of it on here before so welcome to the Zone! If it were my car I'd be hanging onto it unless it owed me some serious dough! 8)

sorry mate no dis-respect, but when you 1st bought it, was it actually a alpina, cos cant see nothing that shows its an alpina, apart from the wheels.

But the it does look sweeet now tho...

thanks..


alright mate..

yeh did my homework before i bought it.. the only things missin was the Alpina front spoiler the C1 2.3 badges and the exhaust system.. they put a standard 2.3 one on it.. which was like a bloody pee shooter haha..

it had the Alpina engine, alloy wheels, gear knob, steering wheel, LSD, dials, plaque i also contacted Ged at Nottingham sytner to confirm it was gen.

Welcome mate.

thanks alot.. yeh he did a fantastic write up. Its a good story too.. with a twist of fate haha..

The first couple of pics are of when i first saw the car.. AT the time it wasnt for sale but i knew one day she will be mine haha.. It wasnt till a year later that i switched on a old phone by chance and got a message from the old couple driving the C1 sayin that it was now up for sale and am i still interested.
