    Thought you guys might be interested in this one even though it has a few years left to run before becoming classic. Always had a hankering for one of these. Never thought that I would get the chance.
    Anyway on the road. Need to get the NCT sorted and we're away.

    We've obviously got very similar taste in cars. I have a scimitar too and the alpine was on my shortlist for daily driver but I went for a fiat coupe instead.Very nice indeed.

    Verrrry Nice.

    There used to be one in Athlone in the early 90's that i habitually drooled over.
    Best of luck with it.

    Don't they have the same engine as the DeLorean?

    MaxDamage,
    You are correct. The same PRV (Peugeot/Renault/Volvo) V6 was in the DeLorean & also in the Venturi (another low volume sports car).
    It is a nice smooth unit that doesn't give too many troubles.

    The car is a hoot to drive so direct compared to other things I have driven and just like a go-kart.

    Regards,
    Spitfire

    Congrats!

    Nice looking cars - even better in the flesh.

    I took a pic of one for the "I saw a classic" thread last year!
