You never disappoint Bob! Is it anyone on here? They must be fairly local as I saw it in the same spot last week, but was running late and didn’t get chance to check it out.

Not on the archive?

Edit: Can see it on the register though....

Don't think I've seen the owner post in here though.

No, never had any images to use, so the car gets left unpublished until something turns up.

If I see it again I’ll go back and get my DSLR

Often seen around Salop: seems to be a local car to the county. I've a hunch I know the family, but not 100% sure

They should be easy to spot as they will all be wearing Lycra given the greth hanging from the back end.

Assume you are in the Shire as well then Bobbly? What do I need to look out for?

Nope. I've been known to get about a bit as my own 'spotted' post is about to indicate. The family I believe this car is linked to actually owned a shop in a town I used to reside in, and I'm pretty sure their brother was a 'Paul' and his surname begins 'Cad' and IIRC he owned an E9x Alpina previously and he lives over that way. So, roughly placing things in there, I may know something, or nothing, about this car. Previously, I can say it's been spotted in Shrewsbury and Oswestry too. I'm very sure the last time it was seen it was on the new style Dynamics, though.....need to check my phone pix.

I keep my exact fleet and location private due to previous nefarious occurrences which left the family fingers burnt, but I am vaguely known to a few Alpina owners as I've been on various Alpina and BMW meets around the country in the past.

I checked my history on this, and see from December 2020 I have a pic of the same reg on a later G20 car which is on the new Dynamics, The car spotted now is a 2014 F30....seems he's stayed Blue, stayed 3er based, but gone back a generation Love a bit of investigation

Bobbly, would you be willing to share that image of the reg: PA11CAD on a G20 ALPINA? According to the gov.uk checker, it has been assigned to this F30 from new in Mar-14. I was wondering if there was similar variation like PA17CAD but that isn't assigned currently.
