EQUIPMENT

EXTERIOR
Finished in the timeless Dream Black metallic. the paintwork on this Z1 is near flawless and boasts a wonderfully deep colouring. With absolutely no unsightly scuffs or scratches to note. every panel is perfectly straight. just as the factory intended. In true Alpina style both sides are boldly adorned with a fresh set of gold decals.

On close inspection there is no corrosion around the car. and virtually no chips to the front bumper or leading edge of the bonnet. All lenses and glass around the car appear in good order; even the rear window remains clear with virtually no imperfections to behold. Aside from a minute repair to the rear panel. the black soft top presents remarkably well too.

INTERIOR
Unsurprisingly the interior of the RLE is in great shape. The dark grey Nubuck and camouflage leather upholstery is the most resilient interior to feature in the RLE and certainly appears to have stood the test of time in this example. With little or no wear to the bolsters. the seats remain tight and perfectly supportive.

The hand-stitched leather Momo steering wheel and handbrake lever retain a good texture. as does the Alpina gearknob. The leather trimmed dash shows no signs of distortion or sun damage and the high door sills also present well. with only very minimal wear to a small area on the driver's side. The Nubuck-trimmed centre console features the RLE's numbered plaque. which in this example is number 54 of 66. The steering wheel centre is also numbered.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The under-bonnet of this Alpina is consistent with a car that has been used sparingly. Having covered less than 19k miles it is not surprising that all the plastic components display a healthy shine and many of the mechanical parts still retain their factory lacquer coating.

Looking further. there is no corrosion in the engine bay at all. The 2. 7-litre engine itself presents very well indeed. and following a full mechanical inspection by our team of technicians is in fine fettle.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
Effortlessly filling the arches of this RLE. the 17-inch Alpina alloys on which the car sits are almost 100% blemish-free. The centre caps too present perfectly. each one proudly displaying the ‘Limited 54/66 Edition' Alpina badge.

The wheels are shod in a matching set of Yokohoma tyres. each showing minimal signs of wear.

HISTORY FILE
This rare Alpina was first registered in 1991 and has since covered less than 19k miles. Since arriving in the UK all duties and taxes have been paid.

Present in the history file is the original embossed Alpina leather document wallet. Complete with a service history confirming the car's low mileage. the original Owner's Handbook. and dealer-supplied service booklet are also present. along with the spare key.
