Alpina at Royal Deeside Motor Show

Post by flyboyben » Mon Aug 16, 2021 9:29 am

Not so much a 'meet' but as it was my first show in 2 years I thought it was worthy of a post. I put the car into the local Royal Deeside Motor Show in Aberdeenshire on Saturday. It was nice to get back to my first car related event in a very long time. Lots of interesting cars there but sadly only one Alpina....my Roadster S. So here is a photo....

Lots of interest, mostly from people saying 'what is that?' or "I didn't know they made those", but the Skyline next to me seemed to get the bulk of the attention :roll:

I was considering entering the B10 but decided against as it clashed with something else. Will probably do next year as car will be 20 years old.

You will have the honour of entry into the 'classic' section.....I was in the 'catch-all' section called 'Individual Submissions'. Unless we get a few of us under the guise of "The Alpina Register"

Hi Ben, I noticed the Silver Roadster S at the event. I didn't know there was a silver one in the area but it's good to know it's yours :)

I still have no. 73 but it doesn't see much daylight these days!

That would be worth considering for next year. Just need to be a bit proactive nearer the time and should be enough of us to make up a group.

Cut and pasted the wrong quote. I meant organise this for next time.

My 2 were booked in with North East BMW (Scotland) group, but unfortunately had to pull out due to work. Hopefully next year :P
