Alpina was established in 1965. pre-dated by its founder. br/>Burkard Bovensiepen. using his skills to produce tuning
kits for a range of car brands. including
BMW. Today Alpina. a vehicle manufacturer
in its own right - and still a family firm. guided by Bovensiepen
and his sons. Andreas and Florian - continues to enjoy close
co-operation with BMW. Indeed it is the basis
of its continuing success. with
manufacturing processes integrated into BMW's production
facilities.

In the late '60s. Alpina spread its wings into touring car
racing and such was its authority that in 1971. a year
after winning the European Touring Car Championship. br/>Alpina was handed the project leadership of the lightweight
BMW 3. 0CSL Coupe. which in competition guise. was to
stamp such an indelible impression on touring car
racing.

Today. Alpina produces some 1. 00 BMW-based
high-end vehicles a year. designed - as was always the
case - to appeal to enthusiasts. with performance and individuality
at their heart.

The Alpina C1 was based on the E30 323i and was among their most
popular early models. providing superior performance over the
unmodified car. The extra power is due to Mahle pistons and a
special exhaust and ignition system. It also received dry-sump
lubrication and a short-ratio five-speed gearbox. Only 35 C1 cars
were built making it one of the rarest Alpina cars.

This extremely collectable E30 limited edition Alpina was
imported from Japan and has formed part of a private collection for
the last two years. During that time. it has received a new fuel
tank. pump and filter; it also benefits from new lower wishbones. br/>general hoses. belts and a full service. Presented at auction with
a full one year MoT test certificate. it still carries the
dashboard plaque. "C1 BMW Alpina E30 W105" and is in remarkably
original condition throughout. Thought to be still in its original
paintwork underneath the pin-stripe Alpina decals. it started on
the button with no red lights showing on the overhead display.
Already very much a modern classic. prices will only rise for these
specialist sporting coupés.
