    Alpine Brand?

    The Alpine brand was relaunched with the 2017 introduction of the new Alpine A110. In January 2021, as part of a company revamp, Renault announced that Renault Sport was again merged into Alpine to form an Alpine business unit.

    Patrick's Trucks ?

    Great read Pat! Nice to see we're all on the savings band wagon! I have installed a 43-panel solar system and we hardly ever pay for electricity. I'm not convinced on the value of a 10kW battery as it drains in no time for the initial cost (Waiting for a 50kW to be available at the right price)...

    Some of those planes in that list are very inefficient, some of the worse in history, like MD-11, DC-10, 757, 727...

    That looks like a bargain! It’s straight, rust-free and is sitting high. Pity about the brown colour 🙄

    I feel for you Stephen. Unfortunately in Australia, most 107s were imported with automatic transmissions. Have you tried the various Facebook groups like: Australian Mercedes R107/C107 Appreciation Group Mercedes R107 SL Owners - 560SL 380SL 450SL 280SL 350SL 500SL 300SL 420SL Australia/NZ...
