That is almost my perfect style of project, I do have a hankering for these grey bumpered Alpines 

I hope someone can save it

Have you saved it yet?

I couldn't say if the whole car was awful - but the sound of tappets from the engine meant you could identify one coming towards you from 400 yards away.

They're much maligned. My father owned one and he liked it that much that he went on to stick to the brand and bought two Horizons in succession.

Unfortunately, while I am many things, I have yet to invent a Tardis, which I am sure everyone agrees is the no.1 thing on a Shiters need list. At the moment I only have outside space, and that Alpine would, rather fittingly, become swiss cheese in no time! 🤣

ITYM 'maligned' - unless they really are misaligned, hence the tappets... 🙃

Wow... just - WOW.

I think that on balance though, if I was to have an All-aggro it'd have to be the sheer absurdity of Kingsbury's finest.

I commuted 90 miles a day for at least 2 years in one almost identical to that. I'll get you home easily, albeit rather slowly.

Indeed! The 6am starts thanks to our two year old are catching up with me! 

Having said all that, I reckon panels on that era of anything mass-produced were indeed misaligned 😅

I think you mean they're much maligned although your version amused me and may well also be true. My Dad had an Alpine too and must have liked it enough for his next car (and the first I can remember) being a metallic blue Horizon 1.3. EVW310Y never put a foot wrong but I can still recall that noise 34 years after it was traded in. The new 309 1.6 Sr  he replaced it with was SO FUCKING QUIET.. 

 

Edit: Hadn't noticed Barrett beat me to it!

I like a Rootes/ Chrysler vehicle as much as anyone, but a Rapier has never been worth 7000 euro's.  Rarity seems to be driving this valuation.

Fucking hell that Alpine is INCRED. I really, really, really, really want that.

Me too. I’d love a Chrysler-badged Alpine, S is the ideal spec and that one doesn’t look too fucked. Nowhere to put it though.

They’re not bad cars; the engines are noisy and 60s tech from the Simca 1100, but reasonably effective and the car as a whole is comfy and practical, if not especially exciting. They sold like gateaux chauds in France.

 I like them because they are just so handsomely proportioned and look amazing with white plastic bumpers.

Ikr, I am somewhat of an oddball on Volvo 480 Club Europe for loving the cars with the black bumpers, just as long as it doesn't have the black rubbing strips:

🤢

 

I agree that the Simca Alpine (sorry) is an extremely well styled car, not to exciting, but not dull enough to be a total turn off. In other words, how boring should be done
