The only Barbera Red Alpina B7?

Most as you would expect are black or silver with a few Alpina Blue mixed in.

I LOVE this car!!!

Sold a few toys (including the P4S) and replaced them with allegedly the only Barbera Red Metallic Alpina B7. Fantastic driving car and with 516 lb-ft torque the power is quite impressive. Overall the car is in really good shape having survived its PO (former NFL player) who thankfully only had it for a couple months...... Damage was cosmetic and the dent guy and the wheel repair guy were both able to repair 99% of the damage.

What a better way to get to learn the car's condition than to rub on it...... Here's a couple pics from yesterday after the first wash and interior cleaning - I was pleasantly surprised how nice the paint is!:











Here'sa couple more:

There is not one on cars.com right now.... perhaps you remember seeing the car I bought? It was on cars.com for ~2 days.

Here is why I suggest that it's the only Barbera Red B7:

Thanks guys! I'm really diggin this car. My only gripe; there is a noticable lag from pedal input until the car responds..... I'm used to a RRSSC that as soon as you touch the pedal it jumps forward. Guess I'll get used to it.

It's not an ad, just a thread about this possibly being the only Barbera Red B7. NA = North America, all E65/66 B7s are supercharged.
