It looks like it's driven straight out of a 15 year old computer game.

Have they parked outside a Mazda dealership to take that pic?
To give it some kind of credibility?

£9050 for a part finished Alpina Replica E38

Where do I sign!!!
Hmm. So far as I understand it, Alpina do a load of drivetrain and suspension mods to make BMWs faster and more comfortable, and then a load of cosmetic mods to make them look ugly and dated. What on earth would make you want something that looked like an Alpina but didn't drive like one? Baffling choice of something to make a replica of.

Not as bad as some on here but... orange and silver is a, shall we say, unusual combination.

Is that Lewis's new company car?

Maybe that's why the contract signing took so long.

"Director's private car for 4+ years" Director of what? That's the sort of monstrosity I'd expect to see doing failed burnouts at the traffic lights in the centre of Bradford, windows rolled down, seat reclined as far as possible and a smug look on a fat guy's face as he thinks people are staring because they're impressed rather than baffled.

Those hubcaps tell me all I need to know about the person who owned this car, though surprised they went union jack and not full St George flag with accompanying Britain First window sticker in the rear.

Sadly in Spain car prices are nuts. But it is toppy, a standard Mk 1 TT without the tat would probably be €10k ish.

Isnt it just a drift pig with some missmatched panels to replace what I assume was ones that got broke? Not really modified.

Isn't it an early 110bhp 1.6 rather than the later 88bhp 1.6?

Not modified. 'Send It' sticker confirms my discomfort at McLaren seeming to use it for the launch of their 2021 car.

Although it is a few different shades of yellow (with some green and black thrown in for good measure) the car was originally silver but the colour has been changed to yellow on the log book.

Perhaps useful as a donor for a kit car if the engine, gearbox and diff. aren't shot?

for something that someone's spent no small amount of time and effort creating that fails quite badly for silly reasons - you think they'd have stretched to a custom bar that followed the cars lines rather than one robbed out a scrapyard. Or cut away the rear section entirely for a dual cab. I guess the rest of its a similar lashup.
