1988 Alpina C2 2.5 | Brighton & Hove, East Sussex

The Alpina C2 2.5 is a tuned BMW 3 Series saloon from the E30 generation. It is known for its smooth 2.5-litre six-cylinder engine, Alpina-tuned suspension and larger brakes, all in the restrained shape of a 1980s German saloon. This 1988 car is white with a grey interior, and its condition is excellent. The clean paintwork and plain cabin give it a crisp, understated look that reads as period 1980s at once. It seats four. Its upright, squared-off lines suit period advertising, music videos and 1980s-set film and TV, where the white body gives a clean base against any location. Photographers and fashion and editorial stylists get a sharp side profile and a neat grey interior to shoot in. At events, anyone who knows the Alpina name has something to talk about. Weddings and personal hires suit its understated look. The car is based in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex.
