Iconic Auctions have this exceptionally rare, Sytner UK-supplied, right-hand drive Alpina B10 3.5 that was returned to top form a few years ago and has been fastidiously maintained by our vendor for the past eight years.
In 1985, Alpina formed a partnership with Frank Sytner to establish a UK outlet for Alpina models at the Sytner Nottingham BMW dealership which had been awarded its initial BMW franchise in 1970. The first seven UK Alpina B10 3.5 E28s, were, according to online sources, based on the 528i, with a further 25 cars based on the 535i. The 'Sytner Alpinas', as they became known, were sent the 3.5-litre engine, suspension, trim, badging and the all important dashboard plaque from the Alpina factory, for assembly in the UK.
Based on a 1985 535iA and finished in timeless Diamond Schwarz Metallic, this particular example is build number 5,537 and is understood to be the fourth of the 25 Sytner-built, right-hand drive B10s.
