Sammy Davis Jnr, Cliff Richard and Paul Simon all had Alpines. More recently
the drummer from Oasis had an Alpine, but I think that was more a
collectable than the band car!
Genesis used to get around in Peter Gabriel's Imp.
Jarvis Cocker of Pulp was famous for driving around in his Imp until he had
it cubed in the name of "art".
