Alpina B12 5.7 8 Series Detail W/ Street Dreams Detail

Recently completed, I flew Dave out from New Jersey to help with a collection I am doing slowly. This vehicle is one of three in the USA according to the owner and I have not seen a car like this since I visited the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1999.

Dave getting pre-correction pics.
