This is Doug Vadnais's 1980 Alpina B7 Turbo, truly a work of art. I actually had the honor of driving this car for Doug as it was for sale in Chicago. Doug and I were in contact on an online BMW message forum and I agreed to take a look at the car for him since he was considering buying the car. I took these pictures when I saw the car and based on these, and the conversations we had on the phone, Doug purchased the car. He lives in Northern California and is currently restoring the interior of this beautiful machine. Here's what Doug had to say about the car:

After three years of looking for an Alpina Coupe this 1980 E24-6series became available as part of an estate sale in Chicago, Illinois. I am the second owner. It is B7- #146 It is one of the very last of the E12 based B7Turbo Coupes produced by Alpina at the Buchloe factory. It was brought to the USA by the original owner in 1986. With the exception of the stereo, Interton rally computer, Shroth 3 point belts and AVS tires it remains stock. It runs great, is stonking fast and stops great! Just ask Adam...
