2003 BMW Alpina Roadster V8
Reminiscent of a Bygone Era, Rapidly Appreciating Roadster in Exceptional Condition - No. 140 of 555
Speedart Motorsports is delighted to offer this unique opportunity for your consideration.
Chasis 2184 rolled off the Dingolfing plant on December of 2002 and delivered to the house of Alpina in the Bavarian town of Buchloe for final assembly on the same week.
The Roadster No. 140 of just 555 examples produced worldwide and 450 for the US market, was completed by Alpina on February of 2003 and first landed on US shores on March 4th, 2003.
Two months later, the first owner took delivery of this magnificent roadster in Knoxville, Tennessee. During the first owner’s brief 15 months tenure with the car, the Alpina covered nearly half of its overall miles. The car then ventured west to San Francisco, where it was acquired by its second owner. Serviced regularly and used sparingly over the past 11 years, the car covered just over 8,000 miles with the proud owner showing the roadster occasionally, including several appearances at the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance.
The motorcar was consigned with Bonhams during the prestigious Arizona Auction held at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. On January 28, 2016 the hammer fell at 3,000 (including premiums) with fewer than 17,000 miles at the time of the live auction.
The new custodian of the Roadster kept the automobile enclosed in the Village of Key Biscayne in South Florida and while clocking just 130 miles around the island for the next 3 years he subsequently sold it to the fourth and last owner, one of the most prominent classic car collectors in Miami, as part of his significant repertoire of historic motorcars.
Having covered such low miles since new, this two-seater remains in excellent condition. The Titanium Silver Metallic paintwork, complimented by the unmistakable 20-inch Alpina multispoke wheels, is in excellent condition and accentuates the sleek BMW 507-inspired bodywork. The interior, swathed in Black and Red Nappa leather, is in similarly great condition with no discernible wear. The Alpina-tuned V8 engine runs admirably and the Steptronic automatic transmission shifts without incident. This rare German Roadster is ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next owner. The sale of the Alpina is accompanied by the original books, all spare keys, tool kit, and the matching factory hardtop and dedicated stand.
Speedart Motorsports invites all serious inquiries and interested parties to witness up-close and personal this instant classic in our motoring gallery, located near the design district of Miami.
