Hi Kiwi
I owned the car for 7 years and it was really only because my dog didn't like going in the back of it that I got a touring instead. I am very pleased that you are following in the line of people who really look after the car and enjoy it.
Regards (and Happy new year!)

Fitted Koni special active fitted to the front, bilstein B4 rears, poly bushes front and rear (pain of a job working around the fuel filler), car is great over bumps and stiffens up nicely when i push on, the rear feels like it struggles to keep up, wish i had fitted B6 to the rear. On my old B3 mono saloon i had B6 on the front, OEM rear, the front whilst very pointy was a bit harsh. So i am happy with the Koni's.

Hi have you recently sold #111 as I see it up for sale in a garage in Bedford. Anything to report on the car as I’m interested in it, many thanks.

Afternoon, yes I did own #111, sold it a month or so ago, small rattle from the front when car cold, do think it is the shock they were replaced 3 yrs ago, poly bushes on ARB front and back. Back occasionally sat weirdly, got replacement springs but never got round to fitting them. Serviced 12 mthly or 10000 miles which ever was first. Gearbox filter and oil 2 yrs ago. DAB stereo and speaker upgrade by previous owner, controlled via steering well controls. Got done over by motorway and only got £5k for it, so you shops be able to find a decent deal. Lovely car to drive, changed to a lotus evora and could not afford to keep the alpina, oh and aircon regassed 2 years ago, have list of jobs done so where will find and send to you if you're interested.
