My father is on the Board of Directors for the Hilton Head Concours and he and I were talking yesterday about featuring Harringtons one of these years at Hilton Head. Maybe we could coordinate something with them and be the featured car?

"I think the idea would be to just pick a spot and go there. No plan, no agenda, just hang out and talk about Harringtons while eating good food and drinking good beer."
I don't own a Harrington, but I like them ! I do like to eat good food and drink good beer... Can I come too ??

Probably about three. Right?Nothing personal, but no. I think this should be a Harrington only exclusive. If everyone shows up with Alpines then it will become an Alpine event, which is what the Invasion is for. Buy Victoria's LeMans... then you can come!
I think what Eric and I have in mind is a simple gathering... not a large scale event.
You are correct in that there have been no more than three V6 Alpines at any given Invasion, but not because they don't exist, or because they weren't running. The owners either lived too far, or they wanted to go to the United and couldn't make two shows in one year. It really isn't necessary to have more than there ayway, because it only takes one to impress those who drive it. Right Jan??Ian,
You see, V6Joe could be correct on the appearance of three V6Alpines at one meeting place (if one uses the average cycle time completion of the V6 modification).
Three (running) V6Alpines together at one location....Gee, that could be a new record
Jan
Joe,...because they weren't running....
I think you have described the journey all of us who work on these Alpines are on. I doubt that there is a stock Alpine that isn't fussed over and tinkered with for the whole time we own them, so V6's aren't any different. I will say, that the V6 Alpines are worked on because the owner wants to make it better, not to try to keep it running, like some other folks have to do with their Alpines.Joe,
Oh, you think so?
I'm not holding my breath to see three "running" V6Alpines at the next Invasion, because the journey (down the road of unending modifications) is more fun than the destination....Right Joe???
