Plus the 19" newer style "crinkle-cut" style of wheel rather than 18" Softlines of the 4.6, plus M5 door mirrors unless I'm mistaken.

My B10 had 19s and M5 mirrors.

They might have been fitted post-production, I guess.

fitted to late life facelifted B10V8's, just prior to being superseded by V8S

[Cactussed]

Mine had the 19s and M5 mirrors from factory. Dont know if they were an option.

[E24man]

I think 19's were standard on V8S's, possibly facelifted V8 cars too, but the stunningly expensive (£2,500) M5 door mirrors were an option and not standard. My 2001 B10 V8 Touring has had the mirrors and 19's from new.

The 'S' adds bespoke Brembo's on the front end.

Which are quite vulgar in Bright Blue I'd say for an Alpina.

Not a car, but a very well known dealer seems to be selling up their current peremises. These garages have held some machinery in their time.

Which dealer? I'm in Hook and didn't realise there was a classic dealer?

Nice family sleeper.

£5k reserve.

That's a bit of a bargain.

Neither did this. Ended at ~£4600, and not for the first time.

Still some VFM out there folks.

I think i'd take the 250 Lusso you posted earlier. I had to be physically dragged away from it by the GF. Such a pretty car.

Well after what feels like months of anticipation, the wait is over...

I picked up the Integrale this morning. And I can confirm it is awesome. 50 miles of back roads of Northern Ireland confirmed: it's a but scruffy and a few bits of peripheral Italian electrics arent quite doing what their maker intended; but the driving experience is incredible. Gear change is a bit clunky (not helped be a squeaky clutch pedal!) but when it's hooked up, it is perfect! Steering feel amazing; turbo spools up nicely; it feels very planted. Considering this cars age and missing history, it's amazing that's it's so chuck able... It's put a huge smile on my face!!!

[Gruber]

Marvellous!

What a legend of a car. Enjoy it (and it seems like you already are)!
