The Alpine A110, queen of rallies
Launched in 1963, the Alpine A110 revolutionized the rally world with its innovative design. This sports berlinette, born from the imagination of Jean Rédélé, features a revolutionary architecture with its rear engine and polyester body. The 1800 version, introduced in the early 70s, develops around 140 horsepower thanks to its prepared Renault 16 TS engine.
Its exceptional weight of less than 700 kg, combined with optimal weight distribution, gives the A110 a remarkable agility on the winding rally roads. The model is distinguished by its characteristic round headlights, flared wings, and smooth line that still amazes enthusiasts today.
Commercial and sporting success occurs immediately. The Alpine A110 dominates European rallies and wins the first World Rally Championship for manufacturers in 1973, confirming its technical superiority over its Italian and German competitors.
Renault Alpine, a French passion
In 1973, Alpine reached its peak under the mentorship of Jean Rédélé and the growing support from Renault. The brand from Dieppe, founded in 1955, established itself as the symbol of French motorsport with its unique philosophy: to create lightweight, high-performance cars suited to European roads.
The story of Alpine begins in the 50s with Jean Rédélé's passion for car competition. A former Renault dealer, he developed his first cars using the reliable mechanics from the diamond firm. This fruitful collaboration culminated in 1973 with Renault's acquisition of Alpine, enabling the brand to access the necessary resources to conquer global rallies. The Alpine philosophy is based on technical innovation and a constant pursuit of performance, values that still persist today with the new generations of Alpine.
The anecdote of the San Remo rally 1973
The San Remo rally 1973 marked a turning point in the history of the World Rally Championship. This Italian event, known for its technical mountain roads and capricious weather conditions, sees the best European teams battle fiercely for the manufacturers' title.
The Thérier-Jaubert crew, behind the wheel of this Alpine A110 number 1, perfectly embodies the French spirit of rally. Jean-Luc Thérier, an emblematic driver of the Alpine team, possesses an impeccable knowledge of Italian roads and a driving technique adapted to the unique characteristics of the berlinette. His co-driver Jacques Jaubert forms a formidable duo with him, capable of competing with the best Italian specialists on their home turf.
This tricolor Alpine becomes the symbol of French excellence in rallying. Its blue-white-red livery, far from being incidental, proudly displays national ambitions in a discipline traditionally dominated by Italy and Germany. The number 1 on this car reflects the status of favorite granted to the Alpine team in this crucial event for the manufacturers' championship.
The year 1973 will remain etched in history as the year of the absolute triumph of Alpine, with the French brand winning the first World Rally Championship for manufacturers ahead of Fiat and Ford, a feat never before achieved by a French manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
