That should make it a bit easier to organize getting you guys together.

Now how are we going to track down the fifth? Do you think you could still locate that advert in Roundel?

RonP is not one of the 5 e28 B7 owners in NA (although perhaps he did once own a B7?)... he does however live in CA. The only one of the 3 B7 owners that I know that is not yet registered on this site is David Frankel. So, we'd still need to find out where the one in CA is... perhaps I'll give that guy that advertised car in the Roundel a call and see what happened to the B7 he imported from Japan and was trying to sell??

We're back to four. The car that was imported from Japan by CSi was sold on eBay and is now in Australia. That said, I thought there was another in Canada, according to one of the registry sites. I cannot remember which.

Edit: Checking the members list, I see RonP listed a "1985 B7 Turbo" as one of his cars.

Thanks for that update Chris... I was wondering what happened to that car, since it hadn't surfaced here in the U.S after that Roundel ad? And, perhaps the "Other Cars Owned" was being interrupted as past tense? That how I read it in RonP's case??

I'm pretty sure number 181 on this registry is Dave Frankel's car:

David's car is #116.

Hmm, then #181 is missing. I recall that Sia looked at that car before he purchased his B7. Sometime thereafter, it was sold to a client in the U.S..

Chris, looking forward to see your final rebuilt of the B7, looking good as its stand.

And yes, that car (#118) need it complete rebuilt and would take lots of $$$ to bring that back to its original glory. It was a shame that the previous owners neglected that car for so long.

Maybe Ron's is an e24?

Speaking as the owner of the E28 1985 Alpina B7 Turbo/1 #0181 I can tell you you're not the 1st person I've seen/heard mention that my car was sold to a client in the States. I'm not sure how that rumour was started, but I can tell you the car was imported into Canada from Germany in 2000 and has never left the Toronto area since then.

And there you have it, we are at four e28 B7's that are known to exist in NA: Sia, Chris, Roy, David and Eric with a possible fifth that Roy spotted in for sale in the Roundel in the LA area.
