sierraman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I fucking wish! No, it’s wishful thinking that the owner might get them on the road this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely alive and well @SierraMikeHotel Who owns the Alpine now then? @sierraman Hopefully the above will cast some light onto things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a GLS in Kermit-the-frog green with a black vinyl roof and the 1442cc engine. It had all sorts of then unheard of toys, including electric front windows, headlamp wipers, velour seats and - gasp - a radio-cassette player. I remember it being generally reliable, except for needing a replacement engine after about 18 months! Bloody noisy though. They were well equipped for their time. Later ones had PAS as standard. The top models even got a trip computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Great to hear some positive feedback on them. My father owned his when it was a couple of years old (was last of the Chrysler Alpines) and was very impressed with it. He went on to buy two Horizons after it, he was that impressed with the brand. His second Horizon was an Ultra model, so proper posh at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The Horizon wasn’t a bad car at all, rattling engines aside. The diesel was a bit of forward thinking definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
