Grey the Floydian Sergal Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I also must add a great thanks to the Simca Owners' Club as they've been a massive help (& I'm not even a paid up member yet!). Everything from sourcing a new Electronic dipstick, to a colour/trim matched Tailgate! Even these impossibly rare Minx wing badges were kindly sent to me for the grand sum of nil. So the Simca club is definitely one I'll have to join. They are practically begging me to attend some of their events so I think I'd better lol Coprolalia, wuvvum, Dick Longbridge and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I've said it before, but it's making me genuinely happy to see this old girl finally getting the attention it deserves after being neglected and passed from pillar to post for so long.

Grey the Floydian Sergal Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 @wuvvum I'm glad i am making you happy, but the car itself makes me super happy. I love her to bits cort1977, wuvvum, Wilko220 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Shepherd Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Really impressed by how well the car came up in the Restoration Show video. I'd forgotten how good looking the facelifted Alpine is. Grey the Floydian Sergal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Don't suppose there's an Alpine radio/cassette stereo in that Alpine, by any chance.....? Shep Shepherd and Grey the Floydian Sergal 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey the Floydian Sergal Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Glad that you guys are keeping track of Annie's youtube adventures lol Annie is Back, officially returned to be after her engine rebuild in November 2021. After a little tinkerage, she sailed through the MOT & I've been using her as daily transport for the last couple of months, allowing Judith the Jag to have a bit of a rest. As stated in Annie's return video, I was perhaps naive to think she'd be absolutely A1 after her engine rebuild. I reckoned I had the carb tuned about right when she was last on the road. How wrong I was. The jets were blocked & the whole carb was in need of a bit of an overhaul. Once that was sorted & a new fuel filter, she's running more consistently & reliably. Even when her jets would clog on the road, she wouldn't leave me stranded. All in all, I'm very happy to have the old girl back & she seems to grab more attention than the Jag, surprising given Talbots are supposed to be as desirable as dog eggs in the laundry. She still needs a bit of tinkering though, one of the calipers is binding on the sliders, the gearshift is a little awkward when going into first, second & fifth, better than it was but not perfect. I have a new clock to go into the dash so hopefully that'll work & of course, my rattlecan paint job is starting to bubble under the surface in places, namely around the rear arches & front N/S wing but for the moment, I'm happy to have the beige dream machine back in use RayMK, Dick Longbridge, somewhatfoolish and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The twin-choke carbs on these are a notorious pain in the arse to keep in tune. The Solara I had after the Alpine was the same - it often wouldn't idle, and at one point the only way it would run at all is if I had my foot flat to the floor, which made driving interesting.
