Background: The E24 BMW CSi needs little introduction, either as a road car par excellence or a superbly capable touring car racer.
This is more than a standard 3.5-litre injected E24, however in 1992, this Alpina B7/2 was transformed into a full 'Group 5' racer in its native Italy.
Originally owned by Moreschi Motorsport, the car was sold to a collector in 2008, relocating to the UK and the care of its current owner over four years ago.
It was Moreschi Motorsport which transformed the car into a 'Group 5' racer, ready for the 1994 season, where it claimed second in class on its debut at the Circuit of Rastellino.
Competing in the Varano Challenge Club series, the car and driver claimed first overall, before embarking on a hill climb career in August 1997 at the Alpe del Navegal, where it claimed first in class and second overall.
After a hiatus, the car returned to the hills, claiming three class wins in 2007, its final hurrah in Italy being in the Chianti Classico hill climb.
