That's +/- $20,000 of your American dollars. From experience, I'd say it would have to be pretty special Alpine or a Harrington/Tiger to attract that price. A good one goes for betwee, B#5,000 and B#7,000 over here. Stilll, good to see the old girl getting the attention of the national press. Anyone out there signed up for the Le Mans classic in July? I'll be taking my Alpine as usual, but so far I've not got lucky getting her onto the track, as I did last time (2008). Julian.

"Shipping: Local pick-up offered.See more services" And no, I'm not the one selling the wheels, but during the 70's, these were one of the most ubiquitous aftermarket alloy wheel models seen on small cars like 510, 240Z, and Capri's. Like Steve Silverstein pointed out earlier about the car with Silverstones, these auction wheels will need a fair amount of polishing to make them look right 'Someone on eBay in Ohio is offering a set of American Racing Libre wheels from a '71 Capri (our bolt pattern). Includes the American Racing center caps but no lug bolts. The item number is 270577586514 or just search American Racing Libre' From bmounce at rcn.com Wed May 19 20:08:50 2010 From: bmounce at rcn.com (Bill Mounce) Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 22:08:50 -0400 Subject: [Alpines] license plates Message-ID: <023901caf7c1$63ea03b0$2bbe0b10$@com> Hello all I am looking to do a piece in the Rootes Review with photos or text covering the various vanity plates we may have on our Alpines and Tigers. Anyone have or seen a good one? Photos are great, otherwise text works just fine. Recently, I saw a new Lincoln Towncar with a plate that read 'Luke 44'. I thumbed the Bible quickly and found Luke 4:4- Man does not live by bread alone. Clever. That sort of thing is what I am looking for.

I finally let them go, but still have the old plates.
