pippy Posted July 4, 2022 Share #17824 Posted July 4, 2022 I was wondering about something glass-fibre bodied such as the VW-based 'Nova' (Sterling Cars?) but it's a LONG time since I saw one up close. Philip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 4, 2022 Share #17825 Posted July 4, 2022 I seem to recall an Alfa Coupé with rear louvres but they may have been an aftermarket accessory from Halford's Carlos Fandango range 😀 Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 4, 2022 Share #17826 Posted July 4, 2022 Could it be the Mercedes C111 Experimental record car as that had rear louvres. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 4, 2022 Share #17827 Posted July 4, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry Wilson, Philip is very close. It is a license car of the Nova. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might it be the version built in Italy - the Puma GTV? Philip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17829 Posted July 5, 2022 Correct Philip! It is a Puma GTV. You can proceed without waiting for a complete car shot (I have only poor indoor snaps). Here a link to a nicer outdoor photo. This looks like my riddle car. Oh and a funny video of the Puma Club of Italy. Good the car is not massively overpowered when drivers wear these kind of boots. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17830 Posted July 5, 2022 Thank you, Ronald. I do remember seeing a few Novas and Pumas back in the days when I had my '59 ragtop Beetle and used to follow the VW circuit - mainly in a hunt for 'bits' to keep the car running - but that must be 25 years ago now. How time flies. At the moment I'm sitting in a railway station (with a ticket...etc.) so will post something when I get home. Philip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17831 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) @Rona!d I lusted after one of those when I was a wee nipper, then someone got me the Lamborghini Countach poster for a birthday present and the Nova went out the window. Ahhh the memories. 🤔 Edited July 5, 2022 by OThomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh the memories. 🤔 As a kid I collected car brochures. I ordered and got the brochure of the original Countach LP400 from Lamborghini back in the 1970s. Never had one of the NOVA 😉 My dad replaced the letter coming with it and announced that a factory testdriver along with a sales rep will visit me (the kid) with a test car. Well, after 2 weeks I knew it was a fake letter. Decades later I got a personal testdrive with Lamborghini ex-chief testdriver Valentino Balboni plus several own track tests on a winter training F1 track. Late revenge to my dad who couldn´t believe it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17834 Posted July 5, 2022 OK; here's the next beauty. Manufacturer and model, please, as usual. I won't require the exact model nor year as I don't think I can tell, myself, from what I can see of the whole thing... Welcome, dear visitor!

a.j.z Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17835 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) (new) Renault Alpine? Edited July 5, 2022 by a.j.z Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17836 Posted July 5, 2022 Crikey; that didn't take long! But wait a minute...NO, Andreas, it's NOT a Renault Alpine - nor even an Alpine Renault - as, myself, I learned when I was being given a light-hearted dressing-down by the owner for having called it as such!............But yes; you are of course correct in that it's one of the new-style (2017-present) Alpine A110 models. I did try to choose a crop which might have caused some slight confusion but clearly you were not fooled in the slightest! Well Played and over to you for the next one. A few snaps of the whole. This wouldn't have been my first choice of finish but I suspect it has just been given a 'Vinyl Wrap'; Welcome, dear visitor!

a.j.z Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17837 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) I think it is the A110S, the sharpest one (due to the special color and the orange brake calipers - would have been tougher in b/w).

I think you could well be correct, Andreas. For some reason (here in the UK) things have changed quite dramatically in Alpine's on-line 'Configurator' since I first 'played' with configuring MY (in my dreams) Alpine a couple of years ago. It would be interesting to see what happens if I try again when I'm in France later this summer. I've been a bit of a fan of the new A110 since it was launched. A few years ago they did a special-run of special-colours (100 cars in each special-hue?) which almost all sold-out within a few months. Many of them IIRC were 'Heritage Colours' and were fantastic! It was like being back in the late '60s / early '70s; before every car was either Black, Silver or White... These days if I'm taking the family to France by car we take the early morning Newhaven - Dieppe ferry crossing. The first time we travelled by this rouote I was amazed to see an Alpine body-shell mounted in the middle of a roundabout. It was only on my return that Google informed me Alpine was a Dieppe maker. Live and Learn! I could go on (and on) about the 'original' A110 but I've already posted one here - a genuine ex-rally example to boot - so will stop now before it's too late! Philip.

wlaidlaw Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17839 Posted July 5, 2022 Both my brother and sister-in-law have one of the new type Alpines each. My brother went and tried the S but decided he preferred to keep his standard one. They both are very enthusiastic over their Alpines. He has just been told that the Boxster GTS he has had on order for close to a year, is not going to be built this year either. The motor industry really is in a mess.

Rona!d Posted July 5, 2022 Share #17840 Posted July 5, 2022 I recall the original A110 and even A310 from hillclimbs and mountain rallyes my dad was part of. A110 always fascinated me when I was a kid. We also had a Renault 5 Cup racer of a neighbour in the garage/workshop. Later in the 1980s and 1990s there was an A110 enthusiast club with frequent meetings in our local mountains. What an exciting opportunity to drive in one and what a pleasure to drive fast in a group of 8-10 A110s. Well, good old times will never come back. Anyone ready for an electrifying Prius meeting? Haha. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
