1979 Alpina B7 Turbo
JHMOTOR
Luleå
Basic Information & Background
Alpina is a well recognized name in both BMW circles and in the automotive world in general. The Alpina B7 turbo was Alpina's first complete car and was made in very few examples, and the B7 Turbo Coupé in only 147 units! The engine is based on BMW's fine straight six M30 but modified by Alpina to their own spec with, among other things, new rods, pistons and a KKK turbo that gave a whopping 300hp. This is No. 56/143 B7 Turbo Coupé. The model also received an upgraded chassis, brakes and a lot of styling upgrades including Alpina's special alloy wheels. This is a very nice example with low miles and few owners of a very rare model! Imported to Sweden already in 1981 and lived its life in Luelå since then, and first registration was not until 2002.
