Gordon,Bob I have an Alpine 010710 it has a spare tire strap, hand crank jaws on the engine 47000 miles I bought it at Stanton from Roger P when he returned to live in the UK. As near as I can tell I am the third owner. What puzzles me is there are no holes for clips for the hand crank in the trunk or for the jack handle. The car has never been hit there is no rust since the car was garage kept for most of its life. Do you have any thoughts on this? Where would the wheel brace and tool roll be located in this car?
I have seen one car painted signal red it belonged to one of Wally Swift’s friends and it was original. It was much different from Carnival Red.
Roger P told me that near the end of Rootes production some cars had metallic paint. Gordon
Here's a photo of the trunk area of Jean's car. I 've never seen a series 5 with a hand crank . The tool roll is to the left of the tire.
