When I bought my Alpine...7 years ago... is was after a disaster struck my
previous SV.
A nasty T-bone turned it into a parts car.
I drove to the address of the seller, a wreck of a house with an
old broken down garage.
We walked through the old garage to a door at the back.
This opened into a new, hidden secondary garage with a restored Alpine in
the middle.
Quite an amazing site. He was selling because he felt too old to own it.
I looked at this car a could swear it was my old alpine.
By this time I had sold the old SV carcass.
The colour was the same, everything was exact, except my old one did not
have wires.
I bought it.
After discussion we came to the conclusion that we had met each other in the
last couple of years (now 9 years ago). As it turned out he had bought
parts off my old t-boned wreck.
The Alpine I bought had the bumperettes off my old car.
