Another f/b Alpine on ebay only this one's an M120!! The relocation of the Reg' plate on to the boot lid so as to accomodate a tow bar looks awful. (This must be why it's the rare M120 version)!
Not sure it's a necessary relocation cos back in the 70's, when I had an interest in power boats, a friend of mine used to tow his ski boat behind his Rapier, and although I can't remember the actual tow bar set up, it certainly didn't look as bad as that.
I've got a spare boot lid here and I'm tempted to offer it to the guy for free... just to put it right! Almost forgot to ask if anyone knows what an 'M120' is?
Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').
usually pictures can make a car look better but in this case......
The trader descibes the respray as a little flat & in need of some laquer, looking at the pictures i would say there's evidence of poor repairs. Under the bonnet looks ok though The interior colour dosen't seem to go with the exterior colour & i'm not sure about that vinyl roof. Oh well at least it's tax free
i agree that the boot look awful the paints as flat as a witches cleavage if its been repaired ....it still looks better than mine......am i the ONLY one????
