Is this legit? There's almost no information about a so-called "SC8" online.

Tasty car.
I went to look at it in person a while back. Now it's cropped up online and I'm interested again.

Nothing Alpina about it . A supercharged 840 sport with a load of council tat stuck on it. I am particularly partial to the "M" badges on the door cards and the ebay wing "vents" ! :eek:

Fair enough!

As I suspected then, not a factory thing. I still rather like it though..

I like the wheels, stickers, interia and sc conversion. Don't like the bonnet though.

Auto would ruin it for me!

There's nothing actually in the ad which says it's an Alpina.
Just mention of the Alpina suspension which you could order if you so desired.

Basically means it's got a B12 suspension setup.

Yep, maybe an expert has corrected them, I'm pretty sure the first time I saw it, they were selling it as an Alpina, or at the very least it was erroneously referred to as one by someone other than myself.
