E30 C2 2.7 CABRIO #049301 (Manual) In the New York!

Post by Bob » Fri Oct 22, 2021 12:35 pm

Well, I didn't expect to find this as a live auction on BaT this morning! Shame it's in the US but at a current bid of $17k US with 2days to run ... it could still make sense to ship it home!

It must be one of the very last C2's converted, going off the plaque number, which looks to follow the "MMYY##" format that was used predominantly for the B2.5's, it was an Apr-93 conversion.

WOW that is super late!

We always thought Simons old C2 2.7 touring was the last RHD 2.7 built. Obviously not!

Interior looks like it has been retrimmed as well. The door cards certainly started life as cloth.

Looks like performance legends traders are bidding on this I think to get it home they also are selling a grey B6s coupe rhd #201 one I’m not aware of

That's a shame. probably going to double the price instead of letting an Alpina enthusiast buy it

Can you check the VIN Barry? Mdecoder seems to show less and less these days ... just shows Mauritius Blue with no interior spec.

Thanks for checking, that is a bit of an oddball spec.

Going off the sellers last comment, not much it would seem.

Back on BaT for round two! Going to look even pricier for a UK buyer now the Fx rate is rapidly falling towards 1:1. :eh
