Reason being back in the day the job card was a white cardboard sheet and hand written. These were kept in a cardboard box, over the years some people it is alleged were allowed to look through them as no appointed person was looking after them or had the time to check queries.
Consequently a number of documents are "missing", there may be a sporadic number of people with information that either worked there or have collated information, but it is by no means a given that specific information for every Sytner ALPINA exists.
How do I know all this? A pervious ALPINA Brand Manager explained and showed me the box with the documents in when I was looking for some specific information which I did not find.
I seem to remember years ago with E30 and possibly B10 3.5 owners needed to pay a small fee to Sytner of Nottingham to verify their car. I either assumed, read, or someone said, that the bare minimum on their confirmation letter will be matching BMW chassis and engine numbers. However if some of the job cards are now missing this is no longer true. It is a shame that this was never filed electronically or sent to Buchole
