Hi Ramon - Your entry for San Diego British Car Day came in yesterday for
your "1960 Series 2 Alpine". After all the discussion that has been on the
net about cars being registered later than production cycle, you indicate
that this is registered before it's time. According to the records I've
seen, series 2s started coming off the line in October 1960 and the first
ones probably didn't reach our shores for some time later. I bought my first
Alpine in February 1961, registered as a '61, but it was a series 1 car - and
it was only partially assembled when it reached the dealer. How did yours
get ahead of the line? Was it perhaps an auto show car?
Anyhow, I look forward to seeing it again. It's been about five years since
I snuck (sneaked?) by your house while you were on vacation and peeled the
cover off it while it was sitting on the trailer. What have you done to it
since - or is it a candidate for our infamous San Diego "British Beater"
award?
"Ole"
