In total transparency, I have to confess that I knew, since the first test drive in September that I will have an Alpine A 110. The questions were when, as I had to find the funds and I was a bit limited on that matter, and which one I would choose. As fo...
Love your choices, by the way. The color reminds me of an old Mazda that I had. Choosing matte finish for the rims.. the ti exhaust.. also glad you mentioned the seats. I feel it’s as important as tires. The former is your body’s “contact patch” to the ca...
That exhaust, wow! This spring, I went for a reasonable silver Miata, a distant cousin in the FUN cars family. Looking forward to testing it on a track, where these cars belong.
It sure is beautiful and as close to a classic car as one can get with modern cars. I'll look forward to your updates my friend. Enjoy in the best of health.
Félicitations mon ami - that’s lovely - I wholeheartedly agree with the grey, and the metal ‘heritage’ fillet on the bonnet is pure class... Enjoy!!! Best E.
In the EU everything should be equal for every country .... should be .... . So in France for a A110 you probably pay around 3000 € ‘malus’ on top of the purchase price and on top of the VAT and then you can add roadtax etc etc .... . For a Megane Rs i be...
Then i told you to test the A110 .... i knew you were going to be fucked 🥰. Whenever i have the chance to take the wheel of a A110 it’s special, my friend here who owns a pure in the same color as yours describes it as an adventure every time he take the ...
First off you made great choices on every option. I think the black racing rims will actually work to show off some bad ass calipers (make sure you get a cool color)! The interior is insane!! When I went from a 350 Z to a 370 I could feel the difference i...
It was a pleasure to read your entire post. At the outset I said to myself “go with the grey!” And black rims with that grey tone is a very appealing look. Such an attractive car!! I wish these were available in the US, just to be able to see one in perso...
Just an incredible machine. And I like the chrome "baguette" on the hood, this is an exquisite classic detail. Overall, excellent color choice. I like the grey, and I like the dark brown interior, I'd probably get something similar. I'm less picky about t...
Alas, the A110 is not available in the US and we’ll have to vicariously enjoy it through your wonderful posts. Look forward for seeing more on this amazing car!

mon Ami, BRAVO! I can feel your excitement and passion for the car, like when you get a unique and long-waited watch! I think you made the perfect choice with the Legend version and I love also the grey colour, maybe only the midnight blue with golden rim...
I enjoyed reading of your thoughtfulness and the care you've put towards changes and additions to your Alpine. It's becoming your specific car and that is extra special. Not a Pure, Legend or S but an "Alpine 110 Nico". Bravo!
Electric cars will certainly get better but I don't imagine they will ever be anything close to as light as an a110 in our lifetime. It is a great time to start a new journey with a sports car like this as the options get smaller everyday and soon they'll...
I think the colour choice was a wise one, there’s a elegance to this. Not flashy, and not dull, somewhere in between. I look forward to the wheel choice, I’m biased towards matte finishes.
Especially like the colour combination exterior-interior. Oh, and that chrome baguette on the bonnet… such a great way to connect history and modernity. May you always have a safe and fun trip!
I really appreciate your walking us through your experience. It’s particularly enjoyable for those of us who live in countries where this great car is not available. Similar to your love of watches, you clearly develop both an intellectual and emotional a...
Et merci pour le cheminement que tu nous a conté. Le véhicule me fait penser à une Audi TT mais avec un look plus Boxter. J'ai hâte de lire les prochains tomes reliés aux futures modifs. Yves
And what an interesting writeup It lets me want to investigate ana possible buy a Alpine myself Probably not, I have other car desires I might satisfy one day Best regards Hans
Must be a dream to drive such a lightweight vehicle with a terrific power-to-weight ratio. Love the interior of the Legend. The contrast stitching in particular is a personal favorite. How are you enjoying the dual-clutch transmission? DCTs are really gre...
As for the DCT, I surprised myself to like it. It is fast and funny to play with. The OZ rims have a problem, they are fragile. From pure aesthetics, they are killer,s but fragile, hence my choice for the Fondmetal RR 18 which are made for the track. I wi...
I love DCT...a great transmission. Less driver involvement, in a sense, but paired with the right engine, it is a scalpel. Perfection at every shift, seamless rev-matching, aggressive down-shifts. All-around great. For rims, did you look at forged Titan o...
Very happy for you on your acquisition and choice of upgrades! I personally think you are on the most enjoyable journey of any car ownership!!! I look forward to your mods update 😃 May the best roads lay ahead of you Nico.
You got yourself a beautiful and enchanting car. One that you can enjoy for the years and years to come. And that exhaust sound is just to die for. A lifestyle in itself. It goes very well with your alluring personality. Enjoy it many years in the best he...
