Apologies, was driving past and caught it at the last moment!

Purple B3S Coupe spotted outside a local garage on Manor Drive, Wirral.

Looks like the one!

I'm popping past the same garage today, I'll see if the reg matches up!

Is it for sale? Not seen any adverts recently for it.

That’s a bit pedantic Brian :lol: It’s definitely in the accepted purpley spectrum of colours, rather than Alpina Blue for example that flips there in brighter sunlight.

Good job I didn't state it was Techno Violet or Velvet Blue then! :D

Unfortunately it wasn't there when I went past again this morning, so there's a chance it was there having its MOT done. On the passing glance it looked in VERY good shape.

EDIT: Yep, it had a fresh MOT yesterday!

That is lovely. I would love this as I also have a Viola metallic boxster - similar colour.

Fabulous colour. Is this something that can be specified on a contemporary BMW and/or Alpina as an individual option and if so, how much wonga is required?

Nothing pedantic about that Bob, not everyone knows the colour Mora, lumping it with purple is pedantic :D

Can see it was previously on the register and hasn't been seen 'on' the register since last year, surely an owner of a 1 of 1 car would pop in to say hi?!

Ah well, it's bloody lovely and I hope I see it out and about more :)

@Jonny I'm pretty sure BMW Individual will allow you to specify absolutely any colour given the correct amount of funds, plenty of examples of ///M Cars in the US in Porsche and Ferrari colours.

Not quite Liverpool, The Wirral is the other side of the Mersey! :D

Looks to be in good hands anyway.

Not the only rare Alpina that has had its home on our little peninsula, there was also the well known E34 & E39 B10 V8 Tourings belonging to Kevin here many moons ago.

And eventually it'll be home what is suspected to be B10 V8 #541.
