There's not a lot of info available on it. It doesn't seem to have surfaced much over the last few years so possibly been cosseted away and well looked after.
The only thing I can find on it is this :- https://www.thealpinaregister.com/Roads ... rtible/167 and the previous owner's email address : [email protected]

The info checks out as in it being serviced by sytner Notts and mileage checks. The only other reference I could find was from November 2019 when it was up for sale at Sarah cox which it still is!
Think I'm just gonna have to go have a look see.

Looks a very very nice one, I almost put a deposit on it a couple of weeks go as it’s just what I was after but at the last minute had a change of mind. I’d be interested o; your thoughts on it if you do have a look.

Well that looks lovely. Worth a view, if only to rule it out.

I can’t help looking at Boxsters Dusty made in Stuttgart....I really want an Alpina but a nice one is just too much money to have both cars so I had to admit defeat... :roll:

No it wasn’t me putting a deposit on the Sara Cox car.

I don’t know where you are in the country but it’s highly likely I’ll be popping down to Nottingham in the next two weeks, I’d be happy to go and have a look at the Alpina for you if you want if you’re a long way away, if they still have it of course. :thumbsup:

Ah get you know. Can understand why if you have a boxster. I'm in Sheffield so not far away from this one plus there is another for sale in Rotherham silver with black interior £1k less and 12k less miles, though silver is not my first choice!
Have had a chat with bmw Coventry who've just serviced it.
I will go and see it next week either Wednesday or Friday.
I used to work for the AA's vehicle inspections department and have been there a few times over the years. Just so long as they don't recognise me I should be okay.
That said I'm always open to the input of more knowledge.
