Saw this Alpina in Sainsbury s Newhaven.



I m guessing it s a replica.

But even so it s very faithful & it had Alpina stiched seats, so presumably lots pf parts from a genuine car.

Cool nonetheless.
Probably an Alpina B2.5 - built by Sytner to their own recipe, rather than in Buchloe, but not a replica as such.

I am partial to a MKI/MKII Granny 2 door saloon/sedan, look so much better than the coupe, esp. coke bottle, with overly fussy design.

Sad though it may sound, there s some nice looking cars in that car park.
The pre-'95 car park was great. Huge variety of kit & randomly parked.





Extra car park pictures, what’s not to like especially when the car park in question is pre 95.

The gorgeous 240Z is sporting some very beefy sidewall a style much favoured by the Americans?

Image 3 far left, what next to the blue 2002, first thoughts looked like the rear of an XM, until I spotted the steering wheel.

Nice variety there, thank you for sharing.

Usually I'd have taken a pic - I had a quick look at it, but then got distracted by a Citroen CX Prestige.

Good shout Turbo, thank you, our continental cousins do like a bit of Americana.

I can see why, Americana is much more practical when domestic cars are all LHD anyway!

Proper rarity for this part of the world - v clean looking Ro80…



Shortly after, a pale green Peugeot 504 went the other way, and then a white Saab 900T convertible pulled out in front of me - all in the space of about 2 mins

A pretty car, the Rochdale Olympic. They stand being updated with wider wheels.

The styling has borne up really well. I spoke to an owner at a Silverstone Classic and he was really chuffed I knew what it was.

For those unfamiliar with the car.

Not bad for a car launched in 1960.
