I think the Alpine A110r is the most expensive 4 cyl.

Here you go. Currently doing a tour of Scotland.

Today is my 2 year anniversary and I am also out. Its not all Lotus' fault, the economic situation isn't great & everyone has increased prices. But they have done nothing to help the situation. I figured with depreciation of the i4 (almost guaranteed) I could pick one up 'soon'. In the meantime...

I've been through a few! GR Yaris, then a 981 Cayman, and a complete curveball, 1960 Fiat 1500. 2 years is a long time! Still got another 6 months (ish) wait so probably going for a final fling with an Alpine A110.

Another ex NSX owner here! In fact it's the car I sold to finance the Emira. IMO it's one of the greatest cars ever made (na1), Emira has a lot to live up to...

Now we are back on track I thought I'd add my test drive experience. I am the target customer for Lotus - never owned one before & I've never bought a new car before. Previously owned an NSX, 981 Cayman, GR Yaris, amongst others. Have driven just about every Porsche variant, plus many other...

Very odd place to sell it. Collecting Cars is the obvious choice for such a rare car.
