A week-end dedicated to cars.
A week-end in Normandy dedicated to Cars. First, a nice ride in my Volvo P 1800E. The weather was nice, so it was ideal. A first stop at an Alpine dealer, at 60 kilometers from Paris, for a quick test drive of the alpine A 110S, not pictured here. Then, a...
Sounds great, the Karmann also existed as a convertible...
Did any of the sales guys mention the possibility of a drop-top Alpine in the future? The package is probably too tight for this style exercise but I was just wondering
Ha! I am not surprised
Maybe it will be released in a couple of years when the production volumes start dropping
Lucky you my friend, lucky you... enjoy !

Fun to drive although slow, even after larger pistons/cylinders, raising the compression, performance cam, lightened flywheel, header, and progressive Weber.
I paid $100 for my KG back then. It had a seized engine which my father, who was an airplane mechanic during WW2, used as my introduction into engine rebuilding.
At that time I was just beginning my life-long obsession with sports cars, but had no practical experience with them. I learned a lot rebuilding that entire car from the ground up, all the while driving it to school and my night job, often when not comple...
