Well I am out and about every day driving my works van as a key worker trying my best to keep customers houses warm & with hot water.
I have to say the roads seem a lot busier than the first lockdown in March.
Certainly are, I even had the joy of a 40min traffic jam on the M11 this afternoon. Still, I'll take the Alpine for a scenic route to the office tomorrow which should be much more enjoyable. I have to say the roads seem a lot busier than the first lockdown in March.

Yes lots, think it’s because it’s an engine cover rather than a true rear window. It’s open to the elements more thus it taking longer to clear with the rear window on. Bit of a faff really buy hey 1st world problems eh, guess it will be less of a problem in better weather ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
Hi folks,
I ordered an Alpine Blue Legende in June via the excellent Jason at Winchester and picked it up just after Christmas. Absolutely loving it, though only done a few favourite local roads.
It’s my only car - sold an 09 Jag XK 5.0 Convertible (which I adored) in October and would say that the A110 is not that far behind in refinement terms, but obviously much more nimble and engaging to drive. And economical to boot!
I spec’d the sports exhaust, brown leather, comfort seats, mirror / reversing camera and telemetrics. It’s on the standard Legende wheels which I dithered over but really like them - the retro nod to the 70s just looks the part...
If only I could actually get out and use it!
Cheers,
Dom

Legende with those wheels is what I really want. I'm also keen on the brown seats although SWMBO wasn't too keen preferring the colour in the Legende GT's seats. Would love to see a couple of real world pics of the brown seats if possible
FYI; The Serac and (standard) Légende wheels are a tiny bit less wide then the optional Fuchs wheels or A110S Race wheels. Meaning; if you ever would like to fit the slightly wider A110S tyres on your wheels then they will not fit on the standard Légende (or Serac) wheels. domrusty said:
