Yes very nice indeed. Looks like it’s a dealer selling it, interesting to see if it meets the reserve

[Bob]

That does look very nice. Pretty sure it’s the only pre-LCI B5 in Alpina Blue II

This my old B5 BT, bought it in April 2014 with 15500 miles on the clock, great car did some epic European road trips in it
Had it serviced at Nottingham just before I traded it in. Drove from Macclesfield to Nottingham in a blizzard, remarkably stable in such appalling conditions.

The only reason I sold it was because I found it very uncomfortable, surprisingly for such a large car I couldn't get the seat back far enough.
Much more room in the B4 BT I traded it in for.

Just spotted it on PH as a classified. Wonder how this price will match with the eBay auction result?

Surely it's seen a service or two in the last 5 years? That would need verifying.

[B10BRW]

Looks like the last service was the one I had done in 2015, overpriced, I sold it for £40k with 23000 miles, 5 years ago.

Nice car.
How was the spec on it Brian, looks quite light on options?
3 services in 10 years is indeed a shocker.

I thought the Spec was pretty good.

Simon put stripes on the front spoiler for me, now gone

[Metrics]

Not bad, some of that is standard spec though.

[B10BRW]

Bidding stopped at £23100, failed to reach reserve.
Worth about £28k IMHO.

[PhillV8S]

The market place would suggest it is worth just over £23k however.
The old adage of a car being worth what someone is ready to pay seems applicable! Maybe the Covid 19 situation had depressed buyers confidence and therefore obtainable price point.

Seller is relisting on eBay - doesn't seem to be hitting reserve and not making more than low 20s each time. Price reduced on Pistonheads too to 26.5k. How big of an issue is not being services for 5 years? Or rather, 18k miles without a service?
