Welcome! It's good to see someone talking about restoring Alpines. A lot of
people seem to think of Alpines as parts for Tigers or as a test to see what
they can bolt on, not there's anything wrong with that! :). I just think the
Alpine is a beautiful car and should be thought of as something to be saved
and
restored. Get that '62 on the road!
