thanks for the historic pics !
I have dreamt about a simple version... "F2" with an inline six and nicer price
These pictures never get old 😊😁👍🏻
Btw the daily driver of Gordon Murray was recently a basic Alpine A110 😉
A truly impressive piece of machinery 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
As for design, I find the front to be old school and the back interesting 😂 Eye of the beholder 😉
