Hey thanks - I hadn't noticed that!

It's odd, but the car always appears much more blue in photos than it really is. Although it changes somewhat depending on the light, the colour is much closer to a kingfisher blue, almost turquoise.

You're right! What's even sadder is that I saw this one in the showroom, so I should have known about it :roll: Mind you, so should Sytner!

I would have been tempted by this one, except I thought Merino White would be a pain to keep clean. Plus it didn't have a towbar :lol:

On a separate topic, mine isn't yet on the register - it's been queued up for a few weeks now. How often does the register get updated?

I've picked this thread up from five years ago but I now own B4S 230 in Snapper Rocks Blue - I've forwarded the details to the register but it hasn't been updated yet.
This is my first Alpina and I have always admired the marque. So far I have not been disappointed - this is a fantastically well engineered car (I'm an engineer from the motor sport and automotive industries so appreciate these things) and I'm already thinking it will be a keeper!
