BMW Alpina Performance Portfolio 1967-1987, Brooklands Books For Sale

From the publishers description:
During the 1960s and 1970s, the company grew alongside BMW, and was soon acknowledged as the leading performance conversion specialist for the marque. New regulations in several markets led to a new approach, however. The only way that Alpina could keep its conversions within the emissions control and drive-by noise regulations was to build them itself. So the sale of bolt on conversions stopped, and during the 1980s Alpina started building completely re-engineered cars at its own works in Buchloe. The cars represented the real beginning of the Alpina we know today. By their very nature, these bespoke cars are rare. They represent a pinnacle for BMW enthusiasts, as they take the factorys own excellent machinery to the very limits of its high-performance development. The owner of an Alpina BMW, as the articles reproduced in this book demonstrate, is a very lucky individual indeed.Alpina was set up in 1965 and its reputation for performance tuning enhanced with each passing year.
