First drove one about 4 years back. Have kept an eye on the classifieds, then a couple of weeks back one came up for sale very locally. Picked it up this morning. Looking forward to using it & putting miles on it.
It’s a 2019, Alpine Blue & has a stack of receipts from new, with services carried out at Alpine dealers.
When new, were they supplied with a service book & book pack (user guide)? I realise that I haven’t got this. I’m going to contact the dealer I purchased from, but wanted to check that I’m not requesting something that doesn’t/didn’t exist initially. Do they also have a jack?
Cheers

There's no jack, but there should be a compressor and bottle of sealant in a soft case. My 2022 car (bought new) came with a handbook & service booklet.

Enjoy the car!

Better to store the compressor behind the dashboard. 😉

Enjoy your new car. My car came with a manual other than English because of the place of purchase. I downloaded and printed it. Also storing a copy on my phone. Before receiving the car I read a lot. Simultaneously I learned a lot from PH users.

Simply above the passenger feet.
Remove the cover (pull), which should be the glove box and you will find enough space to store the complete tyre repair kit. I guess it will be same in RHD cars.
The luggage space is not so big, that I would like to spend it for a thing, which I might use after 7 years or never...

Great idea. Given that therefore there must be a usefull amount of space there, I'm rather suprprized that no-one has offered a glovebox conversion, given the abysmal lack of oddment storage as standard.
