2 Classic Renault Alpines Ready for the Summer

[Notanotherturbo]

The new tax rules suit me great. Being able to tax for a couple of months at a time without having to fork out £200 and then having to claim back what you don't use. So have been fettling these 2 to be the first used over the summer. GTA is the only fuel injected non-turbo around has far as I know, offers great value for money against a similar condition, Lotus Esprit/Excel. The 5 is intercooled and has lots of trick bits.

If you check out the classics left to die rotting there is another no turbo alpine around.

Both beautiful cars that I can fully understand wanting to own.
More pics please.....

Lovely looking cars, I saw these queuing for the ferry over here this time last year:



Sadly what you can't see is an original in front of those three.

They look great Tony. We need more Alpines on here! Here's one of mine...

Here's mine - the only A310 V6 in this part of the world.

Hi, Paul...

[XOcette]

And only an Adrian could have a handle like yours...

And another one on the road for the summer

Great to see so many Alpines on PH. I've loved them since my best friend gave me a Majorette A310 police car when we were in primary school. I'm seriously considering getting one, but there are so few for sale at any time. I think I've seen fewer than 10 in the flesh but this one caught my eye, it's been for sale for the guts of a year now I think, would any of you guys know it?

This is mine to add to the thread. Fabulous undervalued cars.

Nearer to two years I think. Has to be worth a look as it looks nice with low mileage. Some club members will reel off all the faults they can suffer from, but no substitute to giving it a good look over.

Car club members are like football club supporters - their own biggest critics, ever eager to slagg off their own team!

I can't comment on the pearl white one, but mine is for sale for less than half the price of it


But it does need a bit of work;)

I also had a Renault Alpine V6 GT Turbo many moons ago, euh 1997 it was (looked it up)

here a scan of 2 pictures.



it was not that fast (depends on what you used to I guess) and at higher speed it felt a bit light in the front

[sparkey]

here's my GTA turbo on the way to Le Mans classic last year. I bought it on an impulse this time last year as I've always though they were interesting and I really like it. I was planning for it to be a short term bit of fun, but I've grown fond of it:

If the reg. Ends XBX then that's my old car! I bought it new in 1989.

Here it is during a blast around France in Spring 1990.



And another when I found it, looking rather sorry for itself, two or three years ago at a Sunday Service.



You can just make out in the first photo that originally the car had a Renault badge on the nose I changed it to an Alpine one a few months into my ownership.

It's not yours, I mentioned it in another thread that the plate was very similar.

Mine is a turbo as well.

Oh well. Enjoy!
