I drove one exactly like it a few times. Driving experience was a bit of a let down (barely under a ton and 150 hp and not a very communicative chassis/steering feel). Amazing experience to drive without a windshield though, and faces from anybody out of the car is priceless…
I want an A110 so very badly. Maybe I should move to Japan, that’s more than I’ve ever seen in one place before. I might even like the orange more than the classic Gordini blue. Looks like I need to plan a driving holiday in the Japanese mountains.
Alpines are haunting me lately. There’s a piece in this month’s EVO magazine about them, and I was just looking at a strangely compelling 1991 GTA in Toronto.

Down the Tomei Expressway to Matsuyama. Sweet!

And from the POV of a windshield-less RenaultSport Spyder… tasteful!

Pick up one of the Brazilian Dinalpin A110s?
