The appeal

The Alpine A110 ranks amongst the most famous French sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s; its ultra-lightweight fibreglass construction, rear-engine layout and compact dimensions make it a formidable force in rallying. The 1300G variant, with its 1.3-litre four-cylinder twin-carburettor engine, is at the heart of the A110 range and remains highly sought-after by enthusiasts and collectors.

This 1966 example has been fitted with Group 4 bodywork and a 1973 Monte Carlo-style livery, giving it a striking vintage racing look with its blue paintwork and period decals. It sits on 13-inch orange Gotti wheels with silver trim and features front and rear tow bars, further enhancing its rally-inspired aesthetic. Inside, the cabin has been modernised with new bucket seats (the same bucket seats originally fitted to the model), safety harnesses and a Momo Prototipo steering wheel.

We understand that the car was repainted in 2000. Routine servicing is up to date, and the replacement engine (a 1440cc fuel-injected Renault 5 Alpine unit) underwent a full restoration in 2018 by the current owner. It has since been stored in a locked garage and regularly maintained for occasional use.

The seller notes that the replacement engine – a 1,440cc fuel-injected unit from the Renault 5 Alpine – has covered only 25,000 km; the gearbox has also been replaced (by DM, an Alpine specialist), along with various other mechanical components. The engine is “ethanol-compatible” with an electronic fuel injection unit. The engine has been fully restored. It features 301 camshafts, forged pistons, new liners, new connecting rods and a large Super 5 Turbo oil pump. For those looking for an Alpine A110 with a racing-inspired look and a straightforward ownership history, this is a compelling proposition.
