Rob Wharry asked about alternate power for the "proper" Alpines. I have a
'54 with Volvo 21F and auto tranny. I think it is a neat installation, tho'
some purists have turned their noses down at me for it. What the hell, it
still has the classic looks and gets around just fine. My year end mileage
review shows that I covered 5659 miles in it last year. By contrast, I only
put 126 on the '61 fintail (well, there was that hydraulic problem - and then
the dynamo went out, and then...) Feeling sorry for the neglect, I've
already doubled the '95 usage for this year.
