rare but not that rare ..... B3S - #059 Mora Metallic was mine but seems to have disappeared since I sold it. I think that one and the cab mentioned were almost paired with my saloon but it never happened. I suspect it has champagne piped with purple interior.

I thought that it may have reverted to FJ53VPW but that is not known also. At various times it was also CU 15 (which is now a Range Rover) and VDN 25 also not known. I sometimes wish I had kept it but if I tot up the subsequent miles it would be over 260k by now ... more than enough B3S miles for anyone but Charles

Hap, putting my “technically†hat on, a previous owner stuck the metal Alpina owners book pack emblem on to the oddments tray lid (not me I might add) and although I wanted to restore the badge to its rightful place, I feared what might lurk underneath the delicate rubberised lid surface. Needless to say, I left it where it was. The book pack badge space was replaced with a poorly cut down BMW emblem, but I am pretty sure Cygnet will sort the issue now he is the very lucky owner of the best car I have been fortunate enough to experience.
You're right Hap, it needs to go. Medallion Man was seventies wasn't it? I'm on the case, BMW part number 51168202188 for new insert and cover. Then I'll try and get the disc back on the Alpina wallet so all is as it should be. David's correct, there is no chance of getting it off without damage, we all know how easily that finish can get marked. This car is in such good condition that it can't be anything other than as it was originally made.
Yes David, it is beautiful and if we ever get some decent weather I might get to drive it again! We drove through some very wet weather getiing it home from yours so I'm spending time in the garage getting it cleaned up.
