This looks like a wishful thinkers BMW 850Ci with an Alpina boot badge. Wasn't the real E31 Alpina badged B12 5.0 (or 5.7), not 850Ci, which this is showing? Real Alpinas also had a B12 5.0 (or 5.7) badge on the right hand front grille which this one doesn't have. Genuine Alpina wheels usually didn't have visible valve stems either, they were hidden inside the centre cap and the wheels had hollow spokes for inflating the tyres.

Alpinas did have a B12 badge. Thais like to up badge their cars. Have a neighbor who bought a 520 and now it has an M badge on it. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Mitsuoka brand may be gone in Thailand but it's still easy and cheap to maintain. what about insurance costs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these cars were brought in in the 70s and 80s when custom rules were laxed. I imagine that some of the G.I.s that were stationed here in the 60s and 70s brought some over. Now there are a few I know that are running the wrong book and just switched vin number plates. If you find a nice vintage car with the correct book they are not cheap. My 65 Olds Cutlass had the correct book and I registered it every year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a new one - it's in Phangkhon - Sakon Nakhon province Shouldn't this be under The Least Unusual Cars Seen In Thailand topic? I suppose the manual gearbox is a little unusual here but W124s with sagging driver's seats are ten a penny, almost literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coremouse Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 last time i've been searching kaeng krachang circuit, seen some unusual photos on google map: it would be so cool to own a 7/caterham/locost etc. in Thailand. yes it's almost impossible to get it road legal, but that doesn't seems too big a problem(we all know there're loads of problematic cars on Thai streets already) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
