I like that, those are sometimes reasonable priced as well, although I guess a lot are restored now or fixed up, which increases prices.
still lovely to see when you spot one, could do with a nicer engine, it already has the looks.
would love to see a well done Retromodded one

The engine is fine with the carburettor conversion.still lovely to see when you spot one, could do with a nicer engine, it already has the looks.

Sorry it's an Instagram video link, but... https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs-tqzcImGK/ ...I randomly happened to be waiting to cross the road at the same time as a DeLorean DMC-12 was starting off through a green light. It would have been rude not to, really.

ks Rene: the PRV V6 is nothing special but the torque is enough to make a period SC shy!Think 25 to 50 for a decent A310. The next generation is not so pretty and therefor still up for grabs.
The Alpine Renault really drives superb!
Mega space as well: decent 2+2.

I'd love an A310, especially an early six headlight car with the 4-cyl!
Talking of A310s. Not a spotted (and excuse the diversion), but an advert for a car based in Tenerife. I like it.

(There's a ferry from Huelva, takes about a day and a half, then a quick ten hour drive up to Bilbao. Road trip.

I spotted something yesterday.
Sadly I was driving so couldn't get a pic, but it did have me scratching my head, so much so that once home I had to get googling. After about 30 minutes I was still clueless:
Spotted in Hampton, parked nose first into a narrow drive/garage entrance so only the rear 3/4 was visible. Ivory coloured 2 seater coupe (or very cramped 2+2), I'd guess it was a late sixties/early seventies design, about MGB size but perhaps a little taller. The rear 3/4 window was a little like that of the Toyota 2000GT. What got me intrigued was the "Rover" badge on the front wing, and a "Z" badge (Zagato?) on the rear 3/4. It's not much to go on I know, but I probably only saw it for a second or two. The Rover and Z badges didn't look like the familiar Rover and Datsun styles. It didn't look like a kit, but you never know.
I mean, not like I'm losing sleep or anything....
