A unicorn is for sale

Recommended Posts

Up for auction - tomorrow morning, 1st September, is a 1995 Alpina B12 5.7 with manual gearbox, one of only 25 manuals ever built.

The spiel:

" Extremely Rare one of 25 manual 5.7 Litre Alpina B12 5.7. 1995 reg with just 48k kms. 57 made in total ,32 shifttronic autos and 25 manuals

The B12 5.7 Coupe enhanced the 380PS (375hp) 5.6-liter V12 850CSi with a slightly larger displacement 5.7-liter V12 featuring a number of upgrades such as the reprogrammed ECUs and modified intakes to develop 416PS (410hp) and 570Nm for a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h (186mph). Not to be confused with the earlier B12 which was based on the 850 ci auto. this B12 5.7 was based on the 5.6 liter 850 CSi which is already a rare car as it is so finding an Alpina is even harder so expect this to reach a hefty price at auction on Thurday Morning the 1st of September."

I'd buy it, but it's left hand drive.

I was meaning the fact it was a 3 not an 8. Ie. 350ci instead of 850ci

I had to find some excuse for not coming up with $150k (or whatever)!

Nice that they have over 400hp, as they always should have been.

That hood doesn't do anything for the style though, bit ricey!

So, more than I paid for my house. Seems a reasonable price for a unicorn!
