Would be interesting to see what this one fetches. Needs some love and new set of tyres for starters! But normal wear and tear is part of the age of these cars.

I did laugh about the tyres considering who the car is owned by.

Under bonnet condition shows a lack of care,and the interior has taken a bit of a battering, what are the bits like you can not see :(

Don't think I would fit ditch finders to an Alpina :no

The original boots were probably worn out so put cheapos on as they knew it was going to sale, also to get the car through its MOT, just what any reputable dealer would do 😄.

I don’t think it is too shabby at all for it’s age, just a few bits and my B3 was much worse, same mileage and had resprayed mis-matched panels, probably because it is an individual colour, but all fixed now.

It will be a “grower” an ongoing work for someone who can give it some TLC.
