I noticed this one as well. Is it a car known to the club? :?:

There can't be too many A310's in that neck of the woods, esp RHD's so it must be the one I'm thinking of. I helped this guy source a few engine parts but he converted the car to RHD himself, and the triple weber manifolds came off ebay about a year ago. Didn't really get along with him so I'd suggest chatting to him before bidding...

Why the red bit on the back

All white would have not looked too bad.

Never liked the A310 to be honest, the rear end always reminds me of the car this chap used to drive at the end of his show.

Maybe there was some damage at the rear and it was cheaper than a full respray?

hi, it's my dad's car, alas for sale after an unfortunate ebay accident, you know, when you put in a stupid low bid, expecting to be outbid, but the rest of the world falls asleep and you end up winning a ferrari 400i!!!! oh well, mum might be speaking to him before xmas!!!

anyway, the alpine alas has to go to make space, so it's been put on ebay.

yes we did the conversion to right hand drive, tho we have done it properly and everything works as it should!! ..... who else knows a rover SD1 rack is pretty much the mirror opposite of the alpine one???

as for the red spladge of colour at the back? no accident damage crudely covered up, just the car looked so damn dull in white!

yup, the triple carbs are a recent addition, manifolds off ebay, sorry for outbidding you stunned monkey!

i'm guessing most of the watchers on the original listing were from here as there were 80 out there! now relisted with no reserve!
