Yep - I bought from the Bonhams Munich auction in 2011 (also bought the 507 boat in the same auction) where Lorenzo had put it for sale, with all intentions to do a restoration, but keeping as much original as possible. It was a great car and I was mixed about how much to restore it and how...

Hi There While, of course, there will be lots of help from the good people here. We do have a little community of E9's up here in the PNW and tend to go on a drive together once or twice a year, often to Whidby island etc. Depending on where you are in WA, I am sure some basic advice can be...

Thanks Scott I think it fits well in the collection and has fantastic history, only raced once in the US at Watkins Glenn in 1978, but was driven by many of the greats in Europe that year, including Derek Bell, Ronnie Peterson, Quester etc

Always a fun little event. I did it a few years running before Covid, with Black M1, Rallye CSL and my Red Z1 (when I owned it) such nice people, especially all the Barlow family. Please tell Thor Hi back, great guy and great car Have fun

Yes, I was merely the circus master who cajoled Alpina and the owners to put this show together :-) with the help of everybody else involved in the Foundation. But as Danny @eastsideM3 is on here and was kind enough to loan his car to the Foundation, I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to...

Hi Lucas Sadly, wrote to them all and all do not have the part. saying it's NLA. I always write first before ordering on any website for a part that is tough to find. It can become a lesson in frustration otherwise Appreciate the heads up though Pete

Yes I do and thank you The first few had some small differences. I haven't seen all 12 produced in 1973, but I understand the first six had subtle differences, for instance, mine has white spoiler, hand-built air box, and a few other things that distinguish it from the production cars that...

He was one of my first reach outs, sadly no luck - but thank you for the heads up. Doing well thank you, hope the same with you Best Pete

Thank you Lucas - much appreciated

Hi Don, Thats a good shout, I know him as well, lovely guy Thanks Pete

Guys, on a bit of a wing and a prayer here. Moderators, please remove if not appropriate as it's not E9 (is period BMW though :-) ) Starting to do the last strokes on a multi-year restoration on my 2002 Turbo (chassis number 1) and I am missing the front half of the exhaust BMW part number 18...

Many years ago (late 90s) I was in China with a Chinese American fellow. After the obligatory evening of the drinking game, with the leaders of his different manufacturing companies he had relocated from the US to China, the friendship and conversations the next morning were more open. So I...

So very well said - nicely done

I certainly can understand why they loved it - I also love that badge, but you know why .......enjoy that beauty my friend

First on the Bens E9 - by the way, Ben is a lovely guy and has a few other toys. When he bought the E9, he was meticulous about finding the most original he could, and that is what he now has, including the period ding protection. Look at that gorgeous interior, absolutely superb. Now to...

Hi Sandhu Not me, unfortunately. With seven CSLs and three of them starting life as early Carb CSLs, I am good for a while :-) Best Pete

Kevin You are correct - the new owner is sympathetic to its originality and will be doing almost as you mention with subtle clean up here and there, no doubt. The idea of taking an original piece - say a piece with paint overspill on - and clean it up and put it back, what a wonderful...

I really like it Vince - although I am a little biased :-) - as you say, it works with the Fjord really well, and it works with Chamonix as well in my humble opinion, it lengthens the car in a nice way Nicely done

and I do exactly that Arde :-)

School of life/hard knocks here :-) - no conventional schooling as such, besides when the truant officer visited Mum (ouch) I then appeared for a week or two, had a little fun and went back to work, which I loved. School was for sports and chasing girls, (wasnt it ) that part was ok in my...
