Just prepared for a multi-day road trip, which the car completed with flying colors without any intervention (2500 km).

The Alpine A110 was a small coupé that was built from 1963 until 1977, it was the second successor to Alpine’s first A106. In the 70s, the A110 became famous and glorious in rally world due to its light weight and powerful engine. When revealing the A110, Alpine had been building cars for almost a decade. It all started with Jean Rédélé, a French Renault dealer that built a car for Renault car parts, he named it the A106, Alpine was born.

The A110  was introduced at the 1962 Paris Motor Show as the successor to the A108. It quickly became clear that it was more of a racing car than a passenger car, so private sales progressed just slowly. However, the A110 began to have notable success in rally racing. Alpine noticed this and decided to get focused on rallying, which proved to be the right decision. In the 70s, the A110 became a rally legend. In 1971, an A110 even won the Rallye Monte Carlo, besides numerous other races

Over the years, Alpine continued to experiment with the mechanical capabilities and possibilities of the A110. Therefore, the car was equipped with a range of different engines, which were produced in various locations, including Mexico, Bulgaria, Spain, and of course in Alpine’s birthplace of Dieppe, France.

Production stopped in 1977, around 7500 models had been produced. Since 2017, Alpine has been selling an eponymous - though also very similar - car as a tribute.

It was manufactured from 1970 to 1973 and, different from other A110’s, it featured a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that was lent from Renault. Combined with its light weight, it truly stood out on the circuit, winning the Monte Carlo rally in 1971, achieving consecutive victories in international rally races between automakers from 1970 to 1972 and even making Alpine the first rally world champion ever in 1973.
