3.2 Q4 Brera+2lTS Spider

Originally I seem to remember they stated these would do 200 mph. Not sure anyone would want to/could do 200 though. Would probably shake to pieces. I remember being ferried in one when my Lancia broke down on a car run. Was very poor build quality

Mind you love the old 1960s Alpine.

I remember at the time the magazine reviews said they were worthy Porsche competitors. Really?

Watch out in a couple of weeks for Wheeler Dealers and the new series just started.
Next weeks episode is on a Morgan but a week later at the beginning of April the show is about restoring a lovely Renault Alpine.
Oh and Mike shaking Ed's hand every time they meet (!!) and the occasional "well done than man" thrown in by Ed.

Both now you mention it, but my Lancia had been almost entirely rebuilt so all optional removable bits (stuff that fell off) had been refitted with extra attention
