Alpines Spotted in the wild!

[CliveJ7]

I think this is the (wrapped) Litchfield ex-demo car. Good colour!

[Adam205]

Passed a lovely blue one on the A419 south of cirencester this morning, the morning sun was really lighting it up!

Was someone on here at the Silverstone Classic on Sunday - Alpine Blue car?

That would have been me! Had a great day on Friday and Sunday at the Classic.

I was too but mine was in the car park at Woodlands all weekend getting very dusty!

Pity we couldn't have met up. Perhaps if anticipating going to a motorsport event A110 owners could post with the hope of meeting up.

I’ve owned my PE for two years and in that time I’ve seen three others. Abyss Blue one in the Cotswolds, flat grey one coming off a roundabout on the M25 Brentwood junction and an Alpine Blue Pure in the same Essex town as me - lives a mile away apparently. Very rare in the wild, which adds to the special feeling of owning one (reliability and build issues aside). Every time I’m out in mine, someone comments or I get thumbs up from other cars and people taking pics from passenger seats!

Only third spotted for me.
On A1M near Hatfield to Letchworth. Alpine blue LM22***.

They do look good don't they!

Thought I would bump this and sticky it as an ‘official’ spotted thread!

Only because I saw a lovely yellow, A110 on a private reg today in Tresillian, Cornwall. Looked like an aero kit possibly, anyone on here?

A lovely France Blue (possibly?) between Horsham and Lower Beeding earlier.
I gave a customary wave despite being in the Smart car!
Whatever the colour was though it looked fantastic, not sure it was the standard blue. It had me questioning my grey (to my OH's annoyance) for the rest of the journey.

I have seen one around Tonbridge in Kent several times. Looks great in the classic blue. Anyone on here?

Also did see a much darker blue one pulling out of a residential road in Tonbridge recently, so they are about.

And finally a Black Tulip one also in Tonbridge recently. (I owned a 1972 Mini 1000 as my first car and it was the same colour more or less)

Since December I've seen one on the road, an Abyss Blue by the A40 (M40) heading towards Harefield/Rickmansworth.

All in I've seen 3 in the wild. It's still surprising now, but I remember the first two I was ecstatic to see.

I was asked today by an interested couple in a woodland car park if I'd imported it, as they had never seen one before and had no idea what it was.

Just seen a white (obvs) Le Mans by M1 J16 (seemingly on way to an event at Gtechniq). For once I was actually in mine - although chances of an R/LM owner being able to see a car behind may be slim

[MichaelW25]

Very late but saw my first A110 in the wild since I got mine. Was very wild, near Tregaron in Wales in the middle of nowhere on Sat 30th March. A line of Porsches - mainly Cayman GT4s with an Alpine at the back - great to see.

[biggles330d]

1400 miles Scotland to Cornwall and back in the last week. Spotted only one - a 24 plate GT at Knutsford Services on Easter Sunday. Abyss Blue like mine - great to follow it for several miles!

[AH_13]

A reciprocated wave from a lovely orange S in Haywards Heath yesterday. I have now seen more Alps than Caymans this week, are we becoming a common sight in the South!? It's always great to see that unmistakeable light signature coming towards you though, fantastic!

Turned up to a Bristol car meet on Saturday in my Alpine A110S where over 400 other cars turned up and I ended up parking next to,.....an Alpine A110R . Both cars were Alpine Blue.
