G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-23 12:11	Isn't this the car that Clarkson quite liked but only sold about 7 in the UK?
Rinspeed ◊ 2006-10-23 12:22	it's a Alpine, see the badge

Rinspeed ◊ 2006-10-23 12:34	called renault in uk but with alpine badges, not renault badges, so it's an alpine a610

G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-23 12:49	I just can't believe only 7 people out of 57 million would buy a car (that doesn't costs hundreds of thousands of pounds) in one year. Although it does seem like quite an exclusive performance car rather than a coupe you'd see everywhere like a Mercedes CLK or BMW 3-Series Coupe. It seems like everyone wanted to teach Clarkson a lesson for slagging off cars that were all most ordinary people could afford. -- Last edit: 2006-10-23 12:50:35
G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-23 12:54	Shouldn't this really be a Renault since that's the name it was sold under, despite the badges? On this site Ladas in the UK are called Ladas not VAZs. -- Last edit: 2006-10-23 12:56:13
Alexander ◊ 2006-10-23 13:21	On most brochures it is named 'Alpine A 610 Turbo' only, but on this pre-launch Italian press dossier it is 'Renault Alpine A 610 Turbo'. http://www.minirenault.com/brochures/alpine/bro-alpine-presse.jpg Perhaps someone can find a UK sales brochure. Older models, like A 310, are usually labled 'Renault Alpine'. BTW, it seems that Renault uses a space between 'A' and the number.
G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-23 13:22	On the show it was obviously referred to as a Renault A610, one of the thumbnails shows this.

antp ◊ 2006-10-23 18:10	stronghold wrote (..but antp ..said Renault.!) I said on the other page that in UK the Renault Alpine were just called Renault because the Alpine name was not their property there. But I am not 100% sure of that, it should be checked.
antp ◊ 2006-10-25 11:55	Quote Sadly the last Alpine, the A610, rolled off the Dieppe line late in 1994, Renault abandoning the Alpine name. This was always a problem in the UK market. Alpines could not be sold in the UK under their own name because Sunbeam owned the trade mark (because of the mid 50's Sunbeam Alpine Mk I). In the 1970s, for example Dieppe were building modified Renault R5s for the world wide market.The rest of the world knew them as R5 Alpines but in the UK they had to be renamed to R5 Gordini!. Strangely enough with the numerous company takeovers that have occurred, it is another French company, PSA (Peugot/Talbot/Citroen) who now own the 'Alpine' trademark. http://www.histomobile.com/histomob/internet/3/histo02.htm
A610 ◊ 2006-10-26 22:36	There was 818 Alpine A610 made between 1990 and 1994 of which only 67 were right hand drive, I own production No.720 which is an 1994 L reg which is for sale at the moment http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/108563.htm the A610 Venturi MVS test is also on youtube if you want a look
antp ◊ 2006-10-26 22:49	While you are there, is yours registered as Renault or as Alpine? What "make" did they use in UK ?
A610 ◊ 2006-10-27 14:26	On the registration document it is a Renault A610 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNeycHyeba0
