How about you can't drop the hood ?

It’s in full Gendarme blue on a blue car with all the blue lights in the car.

I am incredibly biased, but I’d find any and every way I could to make the man maths work. They are brilliant cars. I’ve had mine for over 4 years now, one of the first A110 Premiere Editions in the UK, and I still can’t think of anything I’d rather have more. It has such a breadth of ability which is almost witchcraft considering it’s weight, capable of covering huge distance in comfort on any road and then coming alive on the tightest of mountain passes. I’ve done 3 Alps and Dolomites trips in it, including one for 2.5 weeks with my wife (packing light admittedly!), high speed Autobahn days, several trips to Scotland and have covered many miles making on Welsh B-roads and touring Cotswold A-roads. It has never missed a beat, touch wood, and is so well received by everyone even now they are a more common sight. If you have any questions or want to know more, I could wax lyrical for days.

Nice photos Matt. Great looking car - looks at home in those surroundings

Great colour and perfect angle to show the shape.

It is a pity that we have such an emissions, compliance and enforced move to BEV going on in the market.
I guess this makes it very difficult to justify investing in a dedicated powertrain at this price point.

With a more expressive engine this car would be a mini 911/Cayman hunter and worth more than the current price.
Just look at the new Lotus with the V6 and IL4 AMG engine options.

Still a great package and price point.

you lucky man matt The Alpine make porsche cayman seem bland .I need to take one out for a test drive ,did you buy it from the dealer in winchester

Here is the car of the Gendarmerie.



26 Alpine A110s have been delivered to the Gendarmerie but only 25 are left, one of which ended up on its roof in a road accident this summer near Verdun.

Sounds just like when uk police got their first Sierra Cosworhs...

I have booked a track session at thruxton in an Alpine on 5th nov ,they are doing some end of season deals right now Alpine and Cayman for £113.40 .
