1987 Renault Alpine GTA V6 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fantastic car, just get one before they become a real classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown coolant hose radiator feed due to hardening rubber component / ageing.
Left hand window electric opener mechanism seized.
Fuel level transmitter failure.
General comments?
Great sports car with real racing pedigree. A very underrated car.
Some times overlooked at intersections due to low profile.
As name implies car handles well on winding alpine roads with a ton of torque coming out of corners.
Good weight distribution when fuel tank is in excess of 75%
Not a cheap car to maintain with parts getting rare and ridicules expensive.
