hi there

very nice forum 1st of all. Secondly, who out there can point me in the right direction for super RARE Alpinas from the late '60s ?? reason being, I've heard rumors of 3 super rare 2000 CS cars that were sent to the Alpina factory back then to be turned into Alpina cars & then extra parts etc were added. This was prior to the 3.0 CS & 3.0L engine. These 3 ( let's call them GHOST cars) were built & just before they were put onto the track, the 3.0L came out & the "ghost cars" were stored away & forgotten in a sense.
Round about the same time, 1 of the 'Ghost cars" were taken out on the Nurburgring & writen off ( colour of this car was WHITE were as the other 2 were blue in colour )...... the remaining 2 "Ghost cars" were left alone & 1 of the 2 went to the USA into a collection & the other 1 went "missing".


As I've said this is a rumour & I want to know if there's ANY truth to this???


If so....... I might know where the "missing" "Ghost car" is.

thank you
