Yeah I know it would be a money pit, but I would rather sit in the layby admiring that (whilst waiting for the AA van) than drive something new and dependable and reliable and characterless. |

Hi Colm, yeah I do! You're not the Toyota chap are you?
Didn't think there'd be many Alpines in Ireland, certainly not enough for there to be a few at any one time for sale! Will have a look, but truthfully I have to admit I've enough on my plate at the moment trying to keep all me Rovers going!  |

I'd love an Alpine.
Wouldn't like the costs of maintaining one though. |

Ah yes, I recognise the username alright. 
Am amazed to see 3 of such a rare car on sale at the same time in Ireland. Funnily enough though, they're all originally from the UK and all three have UK plates on them in their photos! I wonder how come all three are up for sale seemingly so soon after being brought into the country. The ad for the blue one (which I think is a very nice colour for the Alpine) says that duty hasn't been paid on it yet!

Could they be that hard to live with? 
I don't see a 19 16v on Carzone.ie at the moment. |
