Article on the restoration of a 1974 Alpina-inspired E9
For the Alpina fans out there who may not be familiar with the old-school origins of Alpina and their touring car exploits, here is a link to a 4-page PDF article (I couldn't attach is because the file size limit is 1.9MB and the full file is 3.9MB).
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-0...ExY2VmMjE4OTA2 No I do not own an original B2 Alpina, but I am the 2nd owner of this 1974 BMW 3.0CS with a bunch of Alpina original elements from the drivetrain to the engine and the interior. The Alpina inspired pinstripes may not be to everyone's taste, I happen to love it, and it was amazing to watch the painter do it by hand (he usually worked on motor-cycles). I prepared this article a few years ago after the restoration by the great team under Mario Langsten at Vintage Sports & Restoration in Bow NH. Here some photos of the restoration process.... http://www.vsr1.com/index.php?mact=A...nid=19&page=19 Enjoy.
