Another classic Renault in my shed.

I have always wanted an Alpine A110 but for 2 reasons I don't have one.
1 I can't afford one.
2 I don't fit in one.
I thought about a A310 but they are scarce on the ground in Australia and the prices have gone up close to the A110 prices so there out as well.
I have been looking at the Alpine Renault GTA for some time but not keen on them being imported from the UK in RHD form. Earlier in 2017 I found a non turbo New Zealand delivered GTA for sale in Brisbane. It had been off the road for 7 years and needed a bit of love. We drove to Brisbane and bought the GTA. I then drove it home to Bathurst on a NSW unregistered permit. I was expecting problems on the trip home but it went faultlessly over the 2 day 1,200km trip. Its now in my shed undergoing a tidy up which includes a good clean up, new suspension bushes and gearbox seals. Once this is completed its off to the Auto Electrician for an electrical health check and then in 2018 I can put it on historic rego.
