A favourite car with our guests
Alpine A110
The car we have chosen to enjoy the best roads in the world is the Alpine A110. Around 2400 lbs with a 1.8 252 BHP engine this car delivers a lot more punch than you’ll expect. Super easy to drive with is semi-automatic gearbox (or full auto should you prefer) this delightful playful French car will propel you in comfort and speed around the scenic Highland roads.
Our group leader will take you from the hotel on each day to your destination via coffee stops, lunch stops and great photo-ops. High powered radios will be provided so the convoy is in regular contact with each other to keep one another safe. Don’t worry, you won’t need to chat too much as you’ll be speechless at the roads and the incredible Scottish scenery.
Please watch the YouTube videos on this page and feel free to research yourselves, the Alpine A110 has a lot of heritage winning the World Rally Championship in 1973 as well as a 1-2-3 in the 1971 & 1973 Monte Carlo Rally. The new car has stayed true to the original ethos of lightweight, mid-engined and rear-wheel drive. Not sacrificing comfort though with electric windows, power assisted steering and air-conditioning – the car is surprisingly comfortable too for your passenger.
You’ll return home telling everyone about the amazing hotels, the sensational roads, breathtaking scenery, tremendous food, friendly locals and best of all, the most quirky, fun car you’ve ever been in..
