I'm sure you must be aware that the Alpina version was just a way to get an automatic Z8 to market for those who wanted to profile in a Z8 but couldn't handle a stick-shift car. The Alpinas were all automatics, had less power, were a touch slower, but did have some nice Alpina features like body-color mirrors instead of chrome and, of course, like them or not, Alpina design wheels. All "normal" Z8s were sticks. Smaller numbers produced isn't always indicative of rarity beyond it being less desirable when new.
