Didn't take long for this one to reappear with £5.5k price hike!

Nice car. I do like the carpets! Very smart

Very cool and rare combo. The wood trim looks like Birch Anthricite...super rare. The car is begging for some new centre caps....also looks like extended leather...nice

It is a really nice colour combination, but why did someone paint the calipers red?

Back up again, but no adjustment in pricing. It has a lot going for it in terms of colour/spec and average miles for a cabrio. Interesting to see how it fares this time.

Looks to be one of four B3 3.3 Cabrio's in Violet Blue, all of which had Lotus White Nappa leather.
#139 also has purple piping and purple carpets but has ALPINA Noble wood rather than Anthracite Birch wood.
#157 has grey carpets and no piping but does have Anthracite Birch wood.
#181 was dismantled in 2016.

Blimey I remember when that one was £8k and sat around for ages. Not a complaint just an observation

Cheers

And it didn't sell for that much, it ended up in an eBay auction going for £6.4k in Jul-19, before appearing a few weeks later at £12k

As a chap called James Brown once said 'Back on the scene'

It’s back again, now with a lovely addition to the front headrests.

In no rush to sell but it’s on a 2-day auction.

Shame about the headrests, what were they thinking!

I'm sure this was on Autotrader for a long time at 10995 or so.

Its the Alpina roundels on the seatbelt guide / seat handle which intrigue me.

I know the colour is probably not to everyones taste and a slightly related question.

How much are they worth now with a desirable colour combo ?

(condition is good, mileage is 55k, 2 owners, mot is clean and stamped service book)

How would you rate this to Alpina R/S (seem to be overvalued IMOH) for summer cruising in the dry only, the 4 seats are useful).
