F32 B4S UK Production
I am the fortunate new(ish) owner of Snapper Rocks Blue B4S Coupe #230. According to the stats in our register the UK Alpina production was 3 B4S Coupes.
According to the register there is my car, another Snapper Rocks Blue car #273 and a Green car (I believe the Sytner demo car) #231 - so that tallies.
I live in North West Cumbria and was amazed to bump into a chap called Colin (from Oxfordshire) in Penrith this week with his Green B4S Coupe (I didn't get the number but according to Colin it's not #231) which is not shown in our register, so it appears there at least 4 cars.
I would be really interested to know how many cars were in the UK production run.

Many thanks for the information. Here's a (not very good) picture of #230 when I collected her last September

Re: F32 B4S UK Production
Really nice colour and as far away from monochrome cars as can be, thankfully. I'm sort of keeping an eye on these as a possible/maybe for future 3rd car, but leaning more towards a cabriolet as it would be for fun/tinkering only. Or I may just go older school E46 cabriolet...again, just watching what's around and musing. Or maybe another 981GTS, but Boxster form....decisions

Re: F32 B4S UK Production
Hi Ade
Thanks for the nice comments.
I've been lucky enough to own a lot of very nice cars over the years and - as my daily driver - this is by far the best. It might sound a bit boring but it's such a satisfying car to own and drive.
I understand the thought of a convertible as a third car, I would too and one of these or a Boxster (I've had one too) would be right at the top of my list.
I've got a couple of British convertible classics now (yes I enjoy tinkering!) so I've managed to get that bit covered.
Happy hunting.

Re: F32 B4S UK Production
Ok thanks - I see you own an Escort Cosworth, I had one from new in 1995 and it was Purple (Dark aubergine I seem to recall)
Where is N515LAM now?
