It was a little over two years ago when I was first contacted by Peter from Australia looking for a really clean Alpina to ship back there and convert to RHD.
My initial thoughts were very much along the lines of 'there's no way you can do that!' but as someone who's spent his life breaking rules and pushing the boundaries I knew I had to support his dream. We found a gorgeous 100 point concours Alpina, I did a full inspection, and off it went to Australia. I still had my reservations, knowing how hard aluminum is to work with, but here are the results. Peter also decided that the Black/Black car would be reborn as a Black/Red one, and as you can see the results are stunning.
The work was done by MCI and 62235 looks sensational. I was originally concerned that doing the conversion would diminish the value of the car, but seeing the quality of the finished work I'd say that as an absolutely unique Alpina it has a real value, especially for anyone in an RHD country.
