To me these are little beauties and this one is stunning. Got to wonder the price it will get.

Kyle,

The A110 is an incredible car. I have a premier edition that is a factory "re-release" that I keep in Barcelona. Unfortunately, it is not sold in the U.S. I think of it much the same way I do my FFR Mk4 (kit pending delivery in November): 300hp in a 2200 pound car. While not the original, it still holds true to the original design formulae - light and nimble with more than enough power. In the case of my MK4 build with an Aluminator A52XS - perhaps too much power!

You’re a lucky man David! I have seen one Alpine at the Amelia Island Concourse and before that only photos. I read up on it’s abilities and the French did it right with this one.

Yes, one of the few times I would agree that the French got it right. Normally, I'm partial to German and British sports cars.

Two friends and myself all purchased our cars together and took delivery at the same time. Mine is the outlier in pearl white. Number 1073 out of 1955 Premier Editions built.
