You could always buy Iguana's, it's £10k cheaper and RHD.

Or you could transfer all your money over to Racing Dynamics and they can squeeze in a V12

Yes, I managed to flip it against a late 993 coupe last month.

I'm going to Le Mans so I'll need something that can keep up with an M5 and accommodate 3 people, a 6 man tent, a cool box and duty free. Hopefully, this should do the trick with the added benefit that it's lhd :fingerscrossed:

Lovely jubbly £60k+ when new!!

Does seem a tad pricy tho, but then again it is an Alpina, rather than a V8 conversion.

I'd like to seek out the very rare RHD B8, think there was only one made tho at great expense, which kind of narrows the buying field down a tad!
