Hello There,
I'm going out on a limb: I'm going to try driving a Series I using wire
wheels and modern tires. I would like a *modest* performance tire, if such
a thing exists. What makes this interesting is that my car was converted to
a Ford V-6 (not by me), keeping the Series I rear end. Currently it has an
automatic, but I hope to remedy that in the next year or so.
* Anybody wanting to sell a suitable manual transmission (Capri V6-mating)
is welcome to approach me, or refer me to someone who wants to sell one in
good shape.
This will be my first road-going Alpine, and I don't expect to drive with
a lead foot. Handling is much more important to me than ultimate speed; the
car will probably see less than 2,000 miles per summer, mostly on the
highway, and no bad weather use.
* Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
David Kellogg
