Hi, looking into this vehicle MT54UWU build number 167. Black with red interior. Currently slightly over 56200 miles. Full BMW history. Have mot history and hpi report. Has this been any ones on here or can any one add any info or thoughts? For sale with Sarah Cox add on Autotrader. Thoughts please.

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/Roadster/S/convertible/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.

What made you change your mind?

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

Probably Stuttgart..... :lol:

Excuse my ignorance but why Stuttgart?
Found an add from around 2/3 weeks ago where that car had a deposit taken note on it was that you?

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.

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.
