Yes it is.griffnut said:Is that the one from James Agger TVR, if yes could you PM details.
I thought it was priced strongly back then and now there’s another £2.5k in it as a private sale … a tad greedy. Feels like the seller has miss timed his sale, being as it’s the end of summer and the performance car bubble is starting to deflate as everyone is mindful of what may come in the coming months.PerryGunn said:'It's time to sell my Alpina Roadster S...'
Yeah, (s)he's only owned it since last November so 'it's time...' to try for a quick profit... :lol:

#291, been carrying S34 ALP - Std spec, 55 plate, Jet Black/Black, 5 owners, 66k (advert says 63k but last MOT was 66,300)
That plate doesn't look like it says 032 but if the car's reg is FN04 HVV, Sterling Grey, Lux, 66k at last MOT (13/07/22), 5 owners then it's #032Number5 said:That looks nothing like 032 to me, but I'll take your word for it !PerryGunn said:Nope - it's #032Number5 said:Build #: #018??

I'd agree with you that the plaque doesn't look like #032, but FN04HVV as Perry said it's registered against VIN #032. I've not heard of/seen clear evidence of any RS's with a mis-match between the stamped VIN and the build plaque, but there are plenty of others out there: E46 B3S, E92 B3 BiTurbo & G31 B5 BiTurbo for example. So it can happen.Number5 said:PerryGunn said:Nope - it's #032Number5 said:Build #: #018??

It did, and also VX55TGKNumber5 said:Al_Pina said:This one is #261, Reg: EK02 AVA
It could well be #261, The miles fit. That also once carried the Reg 5007 AH
When I was comparing the advert to my records, I noticed that #261 & #291 were good matches - even down to the mileage. The advert said that there have been 5 owners, #261 has had 6 owners and #291 has had 5 owners - so I came down on the side of #291Al_Pina said:This one is #261, Reg: EK02 AVA
The owners thing seems to be a ‘trick’ many dealers exploit. They note the number of former keepers on the V5 they get from the previous keeper so it looks lower owners: 5 former keepers is really 6 in total.PerryGunn said:When I was comparing the advert to my records, I noticed that #261 & #291 were good matches - even down to the mileage.

That said, looking at the advert again, at the bottom of the expanded description it says that the car was registered on 7/10/2005 which matches#291, so it seems that I went the wrong way and you're right with #261
As an odd coincidence #261 and #291 both started life on a 'VX' prefix number plate so were originally registered in the Severn Valley area which happens to be Number 5's part of the country
