    Series I race car for sale

    Tragedy, if true I mean, kudos to the race fans out there, but if it is said car, the original black/red/whitewall combination was gorgeous. I mean, that was one classy Alpine. I would have definitely had interest in buying that car. Certainly not a $17K interest in today's market, but I...

    Great shot of Sunbeam in a movie

    I suppose the featured appearance of an Alpine in Jacques Tati's 70mm masterpiece "Playtime" is old news? See an Alpine in color! In 70mm! It's a black alpine with red interior, driven by a woman. It's stuck in traffic in the turnaround near the end of the film, when Tati makes a...

    A good indication of where the market is.

    I really love in the interior/exterior color combo of your car, John...really evocative of the time period. It's sad that modern manufacturers have become so timid in their color choices. The dollar is particularly weak against the Euro and Pound at present, so now is a good time to take...

    That is a truly amazing yellow Alpine. That was also a truly amazing price you got for your efforts. Cheers!

    A good indication of where the market is.

    Ah, you have better eyes than I do.....which is one reason I belong to this forum. $20K for an Alpine? Wow. Even pre-November 2008--even at the height of the American muscle car bubble--that was an outrageously high price. Then again, absolute top end pricing can take off into the...

    A good indication of where the market is.

    Well, looks like $11,000 is absolute, 100% top dollar that will be paid for an Alpine. I don't have expert eyes, but this looks to be the finest example I've seen for sale in the last two years. Hardtop included, finned series, immaculate, period-correct. There was a white Series II for...

    Alpine experts in the Los Angeles area?

    Ah--the Harrington! Nope, I prefer the regular ol' Alpine, and I do prefer the fins of the Series I and IIs, as you do. The top you have, though, is rare for me to come across in photos, and I love the lines better than the later series tops...I'll give you a call soon to chat. If anybody...
