BMW Classic Cars

Description

Hello and welcome to the sale of this amazing Alpina C2 2.7. Opportunities to buy cars like this don't come up very often. Admittedly C2 2.7's do come up for sale every now and again but I haven't even seen another pre facelift chrome bumper model before (let alone one for sale) and cars this age in this condition are definitely the exception and not the rule. About 200 C2 2.7's were made in total (understood to be approx 30 before the facelift), when you compare that to the many thousands of E30 M3's produced this makes a far rarer and more exclusive prospect. They were also built right hand drive and UK supplied unlike the M3. Summary 81,500 genuine miles 1986 D Reg 2.7 litre straight 6 engine (210 BHP quoted when new) 5 Speed Manual 4 previous owners (last owned since 2000) Full Service History HPI Clear Full MOT Right hand drive Manual sunroof and windows Power Steering 3.25 Limited Slip Differential Remote central locking Electric automatic aerial Power Steering ABS CD Player with IPod, MP3, USB & Bluetooth connection Bluetooth Handsfree Phone Kit Clifford Cat 1 Alarm & Immobiliser with Insurance Certificate 16" Classic Alpina Alloy Wheels with correct offset 7j front and 8j rear Alpina (Boysen) exhaust manifold and system Alpina (Momo) 3 spoke steering wheel Alpina Wood Gear Knob Alpina Rear Wheel Arch Spats Alpina Boot Lip Spoiler Alpina Front SpoilerIs it a genuine Alpina? Might as well get this one out of the way, the answer is of course yes. I have the original bill of sale to back this up which shows a company director back in 1986 paying Sytner of Nottingham £7000 for the conversion. You could have bought a house back then for that money and it didn't include the 325i Sport the car was based on! The build number is 0218 and the build plaque is still complete and in place in the car. I would of course understand a prospective purchaser wanting to make sure so I can provide the VIN, Engine and Reg numbers for anyone wanting to make their own enquiries. Is it original? We acquired this car after it had been in storage and declared off the road for 10 years so inevitably parts have had to be replaced but everything that makes this car a genuine Alpina is still in place such as the ECU, engine, suspension, steering wheel, gear knob, body kit, spoilers and wheels. Every replacement where original parts were not available has been as sympathetic as possible, for instance the rear section of the exhaust was badly deteriorated so a replacement stainless steel one was specially fabricated with the intention of being as close to the original as possible. What history have you got? This is perhaps one of the most impressive aspects of the car as everything is there! Original bill of sale, every MOT from the first to the last, a full service history, loads of tax discs, SORN Notices, invoices etc. There is even a letter from the son of one of the previous owners making arrangements to sell the car after his father had passed away! There is also a host of magazines and brochures, and the original hand books. The car has covered just over 80,000 miles which is backed up as genuine by the service history, previous MOT's and NMR check done when HPI'd. What recent work has been completed? As with any 25+ year old car stored for 10 years, a certain amount of work was required to bring it up to the standard it deserves and this included: Major Service and re-commissioning including all fluids, plugs, filters and timing belt replaced, using only the best fully synthetic oils and genuine BMW coolant. These were run in for 1000 miles and then we replaced the oil, oil filter and fuel filter again. 4 brand new premium tyres and laser wheel alignment New fuel tank and pump New Clifford cat 1 alarm and immobiliser with proximity sensors Wheels professionally powder coated Underside fully under sealed New radiator New dash (no cracks) New brake discs and pads all round New stainless steel back box fabricated and fitted (based on the original) New Bosch battery with 4 year guarantee Chrome bumpers treated to prevent rust New rubber sunroof and window seals New front and rear window surround chrome effect trim Full paint and respray to the exterior and original Alpina stripes and decals replaced o Please note this wasn't to hide a rotten car, there isn't any filler hiding any horror stories .The original shell was solid and virtually rust free when we started but there were enough scratches and other imperfections to warrant the work. I have photos of the car before the paint to back this up and photos of the car during the work to show it was a quality job with all the glass, lights, bumpers, trim etc removed. The new metallic royal blue paint looks stunning in the sun and I'm sure anyone serious about buying the car would agree with the rationale and respect the quality of workmanship that's gone into the final finish. Brand new clutch just before it went into storage and has therefore had very little use The car sailed through its first MOT for 10 years with the only advisory notice being for the cracking on the rear tyre sidewalls, these have since been replaced. I will put the car through another MOT test prior to completion of the sale as its current certificate is due to expire in March this year. Can I view the car? We are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Please contact us with any serious enquiries and to arrange a viewing. Any inspection welcome. Who are JR Automotive (UK) Ltd and why should I buy a car from them? We are a small family run company in West Yorkshire specialising in cars a little bit out of the ordinary. We pride ourselves on only selecting the best quality cars for sale and our passion for classic, sports and rare cars is the driving force behind the company. We focus on quality over quantity meaning you can be assured that we've carefully checked every vehicle meticulously before offering it for sale. We make every effort to keep our overheads as low as possible, ensuring you drive away in the best quality car at the best price possible. What if I have a car I need to sell to fund the purchase? We can arrange to take your car in part exchange. Even if it isn't a car we're interested in for resale ourselves, we are linked to a nationwide network of other dealers who can bid on your car. This ensures you get the best price possible without the hassle of having to sell privately. What if I want the car but don't have all the money right now? We are licensed by the Office of Fair Trading to arrange finance on your behalf. We're happy to obtain a quote for your consideration and are confident we can provide an excellent rate subject to your status. What if I discover a problem with the car after I've driven away? All our cars (with the exception of some classics) have warranties available to ensure you have piece of mind should the worst happen and a mechanical failure occurs. We always advise customers to contact us in the first instance though, and if we can save you the hassle of dealing with another company by rectifying something ourselves, we will. I'm worried about carrying large amounts of cash and giving it to someone I've never met before. We're happy to accept a variety of payment types to suit you and are confident we'll find a method you're happy with. I've heard cars can have hidden histories which could cause me problems now and in the future. All our cars are checked for outstanding finance, theft and history of accident damage. We would never offer a car for sale which has been recorded as having had an accident, one which has been stolen or one with finance outstanding. We're happy to provide copy reports for your records on request. We also check for authenticity of mileage reading against the National Mileage Register (NMR) and with the VOSA MOT database, again we wouldn't sell a car which appears to have had its mileage falsified. What if I want buy now and I haven't arranged insurance? We are able to offer 7 days free insurance on most vehicles when you obtain a quote from Aviva and quote our dealer code. This means you could drive away fully insured, and make final arrangements up to 7 days after the purchase. This service is subject to status and terms and conditions do apply. Further details are available on request.
