Have a Chat to the guys at AUTRONIC apparently they have done computers for late RPV V6'sI've had my 1974 A310-4 for about 9 years, on the road for 7. Wow, where did that time go!?!?
It's a cracking little car to drive. I've fixed all the little D-Jetronic niggles, looking at upgrading to a modern computer soon for the fuel injection. Brakes are now vented ones from a Clio rather than the stock solid R16 ones on the front.
LHD is not a big issue once you get used to itA110's have eluded me all my motoring life, however a A310 is still a possibility.
My addition to ALPINE came when in 1974 when I was 17 I was fortunate to have a demonstration ride in a works A110 at of all things the Parkes (NSW) Show.
I am curious as to your comment about the RHD, being Unfortunate, I only want a RHD converted or will convert one as I plan to have a car for the occasional country jaunt

I should have come back to this community sooner!
There's been a couple of upgrades done locally to R17Gs, which share the exact same engine. I'll go that route as the hard work working out which bits like dizzys to buy and modify has already been done.Have a Chat to the guys at AUTRONIC apparently they have done computers for late RPV V6's
I have a picture of that ...some where, when you and Colin were in SydneySoon after an involved RHD conversion and ADR compliance, Colin and I took the silver blue to Sydney for Sports Car World
magazine to road test.
They dubbed it "Silver Bullet". Really worth getting your hands on a copy.
With 50K on the clock and 5 years of age, they seriously thought it was a NEW car!
...and I wouldn't dream of driving any LHD car in Australia....
....Really? ...have you not noticed the deplorable standard of drivers here?...
Loaded question, depends on what people are asking locally....and your budget is?...
My answer was more around If I buy one OS and convert it which after talking to Colin, I have a basic idea of the conversion parts costs.Loaded question, depends on what people are asking locally.

Out of curiosity is the buyer from Caringbah in Sydney?Last Friday I had the opportunity drive a RHD converted car and was informed the car was was for sale.
The purchase was vetoed by my accountant(wife). However I mentioned it to a close friend and he is now buying the car.
I does need work, tires and some sorting especially the gear chance as all the bushes are knackered and re trimming.
As for the RHD conversion I have no problem with it and to me there isn't much about it that doesn't look factory.
Yep it was Graham I was talking to him this morning.Out of curiosity is the buyer from Caringbah in Sydney?
