I know there is often a bit of reverse snobbery on Autoshite, some members refuse to acknowledge 'proper' cla**ic cars as being in any way desirable, but if you haven't got a total lob-on over that Alpine then I'm not sure you're even human. What a totally, utterly wonderfully gorgeous car.

 

Maybe I'm just biased - the very first car magazine I had, when I was about 3 years old, had a blue Alpine just like that on the cover. Instead of 'bedtime stories' I got my mum to read me articles from that magazine, and eventually when I learned to read myself it was that magazine I was reading. IIRC one of the other articles was an in-depth history of Stanguellini (google it), looking back there was no chance I was gonna turn out 'normal' was there?

No I havent Billy, but it might be worth the trip out (in the Golf, as I suspect at 18mpg random drives in the Chrysler will be special occasions only)

A few fresh spots from the last couple of weeks.

 

The final trip for what looks to be half of a late 70s Pontiac Bonneville

Went to go pick up some bits for the Golf (mine on the right) and the lads yard was a goldmine, you can't see the C3 Corvette, Dayvan and multitude of other tat..

Dropped into Cas-Am as I was passing and looksee what was tucked around the back

Down a Leeds sidestreet

Walked out of my house and was confronted by this being loaded onto a trailer over the road

Stashed on a industrial estate near my local Andrew Pages.

An honest looking splitty on the school run, I see this quite often

Took a wander into town and found this parked a couple of streets away from home.

What was that Pontiac loaded on? Looks a bit dodgy.

 

It was loaded on a flatbed Transit in about the 'pikey-est' fashion I have ever had the misfortune to see on the open roads.

The Pontiac had been gas-axed at the b-posts and folded in half on the bed. I took the picture after the driver had, in his ultimate wisdom, stopped 2/3rds of the way up a steep-ish hill on a very narrow country lane with almosty zero passing visibility to resecure his load.

 

As I crept past I could feel him pricing up how much he'd get if he performed a similar act on the Whale. Nasty bastard.

Hey that Auntie is a fine looking old thing, what's the story with it do you know?

 

I'm not sure of the story, all I know is it's a restorer who rents some space in the same block of storage as the VW specialist that I sold the Golf to.

 

The 3 times I've been he's always got different stuff knocking about.
