1. This old car is expensive.
2. This quite an old car is expensive.
Is (2) correct? The quite + adj + noun pattern requires a/an before the adjective, but the sentence already has the determiner 'this'. I mean usually two determiners before a noun phrase would be considered an error (This [STRIKE]an[/STRIKE] old car is expensive.).
