They look like French registration plates to me.

Yes and they can be quite cosmopolitan at times in Jersey.
However, I fear JC has not worn out his GTA enough yet to justify this A110.

A quick post to say hello from a new user. I put a deposit down yesterday with Martins in Winchester. Now for the wait! This is the first car I've seen for ages that has persuaded me to buy new. This new Alpine is looking pretty special to me.

Welcome Stephanie. Great choice, hope you enjoy the car. Have they said how long your order will take?

Also longshot and slightly off tangent but are you the Stephanie Plum I went to school with at St Nicholas near Northwich?

Hi. No on the school question - Stephanie is a nom de plume, which I use rather than my real name as a user name - prevents being caught by google searches on some forums. I went to school in South Wales so a long way away from you..

They estimate last quarter 2018 - there are 8 people ahead of me on the list for any cancellations of the launch cars, so I won't be holding my breath for one of those. I was a bit slow off the mark, but I didn't fancy placing a deposit on the app - I like to speak to a real person when parting with my cash, so waited for the dealer list to be announced. Old fashioned I know!

Hi and welcome,
As its not one of the premier edition cars, what colours are available and what is the spec you have ordered?

Hi

No spec yet. All you can do at this stage is buy a place on the list. The dealers still don't have confirmed prices, so detail like colours etc will be sorted out when the factory are ready to actually build my car. Which is good as it gives me chance to see some in the flesh and look at how different wheels suit etc. However one thing is an absolute - it will be blue!

Most beautiful car of 2017, Alpine A110.

When you see the other 2 cars shortlisted for this honour its no contest really.

(for those interested it was the DS7 Crossback and BMW X2- surely some mistake!)
