Alpine TV interview

[John Boggis]

Was not sure where to post this but I thought you guys might find this interesting. Last Monday I took the Alpine with my other half, Claire, to one of the countrys major classic car shows at Blenheim Palace. As the Rootes group had a stand at the event, there were quite a few Alpines, Tigers, Rapiers etc there. We entered the Alpine in 2 categories, coming first in one and second in the other.
After finishing the judging a local camera crew interviewed Claire as she drove from the parade ring. If you go to www.witneytv.co.uk Click on archives then click on Andrew Greenwood Blenheim Palace show.... approx 6mins into the film you can see the interview.

John,
Thank you. Very nice Alpine.

Nice! I can't believe how much time they gave you. In the US, you usually only get about 10 seconds to blurt something out in an interview.

Cheers,

A good show, I missed it this year but attended in 2009 and met up with a Tiger owner who had been a former owner of my Alpine (small world)

Are you going to Coventry tommorow for the Godiva run?

Wonderful Interview!

Thanks for sharing that was just so awesome! Since I own a 64 GT and so many things Claire said about the car are so very true! Mine is pieced together resorted with the body and engine being original and every modification needed to get it back on the road. It was nice to see so many Sunbeams, most I have ever seen in the same place was at our Invasions.

Coventry is pretty much like that anyway in a slighty scary way.

Anyone interested in learning a little about the history of Coventry including the devastation of war-time bombing should go to www.historiccoventry.co.uk. The Transport Museum is superb and well worth a visit.
