Where is the classic? Is it so small we can’t see it?

What is the car hidden by the "Customer parking" sign? Looks like a TVR on 19" wheels, but unlikely at a Porsche dealer......scratchchin

ok, not dwarfed by moderns, but in its own class :-) the little Fiat X1/9 bertone

Yes

See the big air scoop - that's the give away

Plus I didn't see any interesting cars when I drove in

Not dwarfed, but if you consider that one is a small sports car and one is a big V12 saloon... wink

To be fair, the A110 is an incredibly small car. My Ginetta G15 was easier to get in and out of!

REALLY small, look how close the small steering wheel is to the door!

Surprised at the colour difference between the two blue Alpines. I know there’s a lot of shades called Alpine Blue but these look completely different.

I much prefer the blue on the older car, it looks beautiful, subtle and much less in your face than the new one.

BMW have ruined blues like these with their Estoril Blue

It’s like too much concentrated squash, the original would be cool and watery, the new one would be like drinking neat cordial!

lovely such old A110, I like the front, specially with some extra flares like that one, ok the rear is as strange as with the newer one.

The new one looks tempting by price, but I hate that gearbox can not stand more then around 320nm... a chocolate gearbox with an turbo engine easy to tune... why? its French?

Never mind the Maxi, the Mini Clubman is bigger all round than the Austin 1800 Landcrab.
