Is the Alpine Wirral (Birkenhead) branch still happening?
Saw some pictures from Southport Car Show at weekend with static display by Alpine Liverpool
As the 2 branches would be less than 10 miles apart (and Manchester less than 40 miles) it would to be a lot of dealers in a small area
Or is the North West a hot spot for A110?

Why absolutely nothing East of Pennines? Must be a market in Yorkshire surely?

I'm sure I saw Alpines for sale at Arnold Clark on Sefton St.

Yep, I don't understand this either, I live near Darlington and my nearest Alpine dealer is Manchester (with Liverpool just down the road) and nearest Lotus dealership is in Bradford.

I can tell you that since JCT600 opened a Porsche dealership on Teesside they've done very well indeed.

I've done the Porsche thing and hated it, and it was a bit of a pain getting my S3 Elise serviced at JCT600 just outside of Leeds before they moved to Bradford.

I'm seriously considering an Alpine A110GT, but trailing to Manchester makes everything more difficult........might be a deal breaker yet, but I'm going to call the Manchester dealership about a test drive tomorrow.

I’m in Ripon. I too used to have an Elise serviced at JCT600 in Leeds. Pain the bum that was! My son is at Uni in Cambridge so I am considering buying there. He’s a Vet so got 6 years to do. Already had a test drive down there - threw me the keys with son on board and told to spend as long as we wanted. Needless to say enjoyed ourselves! Impressed with the car but not looking to buy until next year. Manchester is a pain in the arse to get to and from (worked there for a while years ago and used to commute Mondays/Fridays). Probably worse now and they close the M62 on a whim and quite frequently…
