Clyde,
The Alpine has a soft "boulevard-ride" suspension compared to a twin-cam
MGA, MGB, Healey or Triumph...let alone Lotus, TVR, Alfa, Porsche, Devin,
etc. Originally, it was never expected to by a "sportscar" in the same
sense (similar to the Miata today) ...it just looks like one.
Too bad Rootes was not aggressive marketing their Stage-Tuning kits.
Yes, they were available but who bought them? I can give you the part number
for an Alpine positraction differential, yet I have seen only one, ever, in
over 25 years...
