The appeal

The Alpine A110 is among the most celebrated French sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. Its ultra-lightweight fibreglass construction, rear-engined layout and compact dimensions made it a formidable rally weapon. The 1300G variant, with its 1.3-litre four-cylinder twin-carburettor engine, sits at the heart of the A110 range and remains highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors.

This 1966 example was fitted with Group 4 bodywork and Monte Carlo 1973 style decor finish, giving it a striking period competition look with its blue paint and period decals. It sits on orange 13-inch Gotti wheels with silver pinstripes and has front and rear tow hoops, reinforcing the rally-inspired aesthetic. Inside, the cabin has been updated with new bucket seats (the same type originally fitted to the model), safety harnesses and a Momo Prototipo steering wheel.

We understand the car was repainted in 2000. Routine maintenance is up to date, and a complete engine rebuild was carried out in 2018 on the replacement engine (1440cc fuel-injected Renault 5 Alpine) by the current owner. It has since been kept in a closed garage and regularly maintained for leisure use.

The vendor reports that the replacement engine, a 1440cc fuel-injected Renault 5 Alpine unit, has covered only 25,000 km. The gearbox has also been replaced (by DM, Alpine specialists), along with various replacement mechanical parts. The engine is \u201cethanol-equipped\u201d with an electronic injection unit. The engine has been fully rebuilt and features 301 camshafts, forged pistons, new liners, new connecting rods and the large-sump oil pump from the Super 5 Turbo. For those seeking an Alpine A110 with a competition-inspired look and a straightforward ownership history, this is a compelling proposition.
