Regretably, I suspect it will be going to work (if you are allowed) or going to the supermarket.

I work from home (a grand total of four customer site visits/surveys since last March) and we use Ocado! Ah well. At least the garage at the house is free.

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.

Anyone else getting a lot of condensation in the rear glass when the car isn’t used for a few days?

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

Yep similar issues in this cold, damp weather - just need to run the heated rear screen for a few minutes for it to clear.

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

Welcome to the club Dom, your car sounds lovely, really nice spec. Would love to see some pictures some time

[domrusty]

Thanks... here’s a dirty pic



And a clean one:

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

[domrusty]

I like the brown, just adds a bit of interest and goes well with the blues and also the grey...

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.

Can’t drive it so here’s a pic

Hi Dom, Thanks for the kind words We should definitely get both our Légendes together when restrictions allow.
