This 1963 blue Renault Alpine A110 1100 miniature captures the essence of one of France's most iconic sports cars. Reproduced at 1/43 scale, this collector's piece faithfully represents the original model that left its mark on the history of French sports motoring.
A true passion object for collectors, this miniature fits perfectly into the world of exceptional French cars and reflects the tricolor automotive craftsmanship of the 1960s.
The Alpine A110 was born in 1962 in the workshops of Dieppe under the guidance of Jean Rédélé, founder of the Alpine brand. This revolutionary sports car marked a turning point in French automotive history by offering a radically different approach: lightness, agility and performance.
Powered by a 1,100 cc Renault engine producing around 95 horsepower, the A110 weighed just 650 kg thanks to its fiberglass body. This combination delivered exceptional performance for its time, with a top speed of over 180 km/h and remarkable acceleration.
Commercial success was immediate. The A110 appealed to professional drivers and sporty driving enthusiasts alike, quickly building its reputation on winding roads and European racing circuits.
In 1963, the year of our model, Alpine already benefited from Renault's technical support, creating a perfect synergy between Jean Rédélé's sporting innovation and the mechanical reliability of the French state-owned manufacturer. This collaboration allowed Alpine to develop high-performance cars while keeping them somewhat accessible.
The Alpine brand, founded in 1955, drew its roots from Jean Rédélé's passion for motor racing. A former Renault dealer, he gradually transformed his Dieppe garage into a true laboratory for French sports motoring. 1963 marked the peak of this emerging collaboration, with the A110 quickly becoming the standard-bearer of tricolor automotive excellence.
The 1963 blue Alpine A110 is inseparable from one of the greatest chapters in French motorsport. That year, the Alpine team scored its first significant rally victories, notably at the Rallye des Alpes, which gave the car its name. The color blue quickly became iconic, affectionately nicknamed "Alpine blue".
A delightful anecdote tells of a 1963 demonstration on the Côte d'Azur, where a blue A110 was mistaken for a police car, and drivers spontaneously slowed down as it passed. This amusing misunderstanding paradoxically helped reinforce Alpine's image of seriousness and quality.
1963 also marked the beginning of the Alpine legend in international competition. Victories followed one after another, and the little blue berlinette quickly became the nightmare of foreign manufacturers on mountain roads. This reputation shaped Alpine's identity: a French brand capable of rivaling the greatest names in world motorsport.
The 1963-1965 period remains in memory as the golden age of the original A110, the one that laid the foundations of an automotive myth still vibrant today. This miniature captures precisely that blessed era when French audacity freely expressed itself on European asphalt.
This 1963 blue Renault Alpine A110 1100 naturally fits into any collection dedicated to French model cars. It pairs perfectly with other iconic models such as Alpine Renault models or Renault miniatures from the same era.
Collectors passionate about sports cars will enjoy pairing it with racing and competition cars or rally miniatures. This piece also fits into a themed collection of 1960s cars, a prosperous period of French automotive innovation.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or an informed enthusiast, this Alpine A110 miniature represents an authentic tribute to French automotive genius. It will appeal to lovers of automotive history and fine mechanics alike, keeping alive the memory of an era when France excelled on circuits around the world.

In addition to the fact that the 1/43 miniatures received are perfectly in line with the photographs and my expectations and are of great finesse, they arrived very quickly (I was even informed of the shipment) and very carefully packaged. Very satisfied, I placed a new order with Bernard Miniatures, a seller I recommend for their selection and reliability.
The scale is the reduction ratio between the real car and the model. At 1:43 scale, for example, every centimetre of the model represents 43 centimetres of the real vehicle.
In practice, a 1:18 Ferrari model is about 25–30 cm long, while at 1:43 it measures roughly 10 cm.
Our model cars mainly come in 1:43, 1:24, 1:18 and 1:87 (HO) scale. The scale is always listed on the product page.
The smaller the second number, the bigger the model (e.g. 1:18 is larger than 1:43).
Yes, every model car ships in its protective box. The box preserves its collector value and protects your model from dust and knocks.
We pack every order with great care: bubble wrap, snug padding and polystyrene. Your model car is fully secured on its way to you.
In-stock items ship within 24–48h. Allow 2–3 business days for mainland France with Colissimo, or 4–5 days with Mondial Relay.
I can't say exactly when new stock will arrive, as it comes in a trickle. Feel free to contact me and I'll let you know as soon as it's available.
