    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    My wife loved mine when she drove it. She had half the pub watching her drive off in it the first time 😂

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    I would agree with that. They have real presence in person and people love talking to you about it. The orange particularly looks outstanding in person vs. photos.

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    That’s a decent spec and 2022 model so will have car play. Paint alone is £1650 and exhaust nearly £1400. I can’t help but want one of these

    I bought my car from them. Harry Cunningham is the Alpine specialist. Had a 7 hour 360 mile drive back to Bedfordshire 😀

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    Is that John Banks? They have a decent 30 mile route if you want a good test drive

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    I know someone who has got one of the few Alpine R coming to the UK and sold his McLaren for the orange S said it’s very similar in drive to the MCL but obviously slower

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    The S loses the lovely floaty ride/ handling. More like a Cayman suspension. Perhaps better on track but normal one brilliant on road. Read Gordon Murray’s comments 👍

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    I drove the S with 300 bhp 2 weeks ago. They gave me the keys and a decent route. In honesty it didn’t feel like it had 50 bhp more. It was punchier but not night and day. If buying new GT would be the sweet spot. The earlier cars particularly Premiere Edition and Alpine Blue seem to sell. No...

    OK talk to me about the Alpine 110

    I bought mine new in October 18 a Premiere Edition now done 6k miles. Love every drive and knew before I left the showroom car park on a test drive I wanted one. Seems to really divide opinion but I’ve loved it. My wife thinks I was wrong to sell the F type but I haven’t thought that for a...

    Anyone thinking twice about buying Emira?

    The longer I wait and every time I drive my Alpine I think twice. Didn’t help when I was given this as a loan car last week! Awesome to drive.

    My I4 moved from November build to sometime in 2023. Think I may drop out given I have a lovely Alpine in the garage. Also annoyed they insisted on me configuring and paying the extra £3k by June 30th

    This is what I got for my I4 this morning. Was meant to be December build originally: Good morning James, Thank you for your email. I am sorry we have not yet received any further information and your updated preliminary delivery month is still estimated for February 2023. We are...

    Wonder how long it will take to drive one. Didn't one dealer say they had a list of 200 who wanted a drive!

    Configurator link and order sequence

    It must be seconds as mine was reserved on 07/07/21 at 22:35 and the final two digits are 21 - I couldn't have been 21st customer for that day

    Does anyone know if the first i4s need to be confirmed by Friday 1st July (spec wise). Don't see the point of giving them another £3k now if it is definitely delayed

    I’m the same. Without seeing anything blue in person I need to decide by Thursday. Think my plans moved from magma to nimbus but not sure whether to have bp.
