He send the engine cases Scotland to have them machined, and have a new gear box fitted! Scotland! For me it is a big deal to take a gear box to a shop in the Valley to have the synchros, seals and bearings refreshed.

Nice scenery, and a very passionate owner!

I think the car is fugly (they pop once in a while in Portugal, and never appelaed to me as something remotely beautiful), but I love the sound.

Still, kind of a rare car. I alway like when Petrolicious goes for uncommon cars.

Very nicely done, David! And, thanks for that exhilarating test ride last fall! Re previous comment: My 1968 A110 has quad headlights; they were incorporated into the Dieppe A110s earlier.

Love that car!!! Sounds so beefy and I had no idea it was smaller than a miata. As a matter of fact, I had no idea it existed. What is the material that is covering the back portion, back seat area?

Beautiful Car! It’s awesome to see someone take care of something that is so meaningful to them. That thing looks so fun and you can tell that lots and lots of love has gone into it. Another wonderful film Petrolicious!

Always one of my absolute favorite looking cars. Well done David! So cool to see someone have what they really want and want what they have.
Great job on the filming Petro! It really gets the feel of the car on the road being pushed a little.

Very nice… It almost looks purer than the original Renault A110.
I do hope the next Alpine will be that great !

This does look like the original Renault A110. Early A110s (1969 and earlier I believe) had the exact same look – dual instead of quad headlights, little or no wheel arch flares, same style of wheels.
