The Alpine A110: a legend born for competition
Developed in the early 1960s by Jean Rédélé, the Alpine A110 was born from the desire to create a French sports coupe capable of competing with the best European productions. Its revolutionary design features a fiberglass body mounted on a tubular chassis, a bold technical solution that achieves an exceptional lightweight.
The 1975 model benefits from the ultimate evolutions of this mythical lineage. Equipped with a 1.6-liter Renault engine developing around 140 horsepower, the A110 boasts remarkable performance for its time. Its ideal weight distribution and exceptional handling make it the ultimate weapon on the winding roads of French rallies.
This late version of the A110 represents the technical culmination of fifteen years of constant evolution. The engineers of Dieppe refined every detail: optimized aerodynamics, refined suspensions, and specific engine preparation for competition.
Alpine and Renault: the union of passion and innovation
In 1975, Alpine experienced its last years of independence before its definitive integration into the Renault fold. This period paradoxically marks the technical peak of the Dieppe brand. Jean Rédélé and his teams then had access to the resources of the diamond while retaining their creative freedom and expertise in motorsport.
The story of Alpine began in 1955 when Jean Rédélé, a Renault dealer passionate about competition, decided to create his own sports cars. Based on Renault mechanics but equipped with specific bodies, the first Alpines immediately captivated with their rally efficiency. The Tour de France automobile quickly became the brand's favorite playground, where it accumulated victories and forged its reputation.
The epic of the Tour de France automobile
The 1975 Tour de France automobile constitutes one of the last great moments of glory for the Alpine A110 in national competition. This mythical event, created in 1951, traverses France by linking the most beautiful circuits and the most spectacular roads of the country. The 1975 edition takes place in a particular context: it is one of the last official participations of the A110 before the advent of the new Alpine A310.
The crew bearing number 165 operates in a category where competition is fierce. Porsche 911, BMW 2002 Turbo, and other Lancia Stratos fiercely contest every timing. But the A110, drawing on its experience and perfect knowledge of the French terrain, manages to stand out thanks to its remarkable performance consistency on all types of courses.
This participation has a strong symbolic dimension: it marks the end of an era for Alpine, that of the pure and hard berlinette. Spectators gathered along French roads unknowingly witnessed the last exploits of a living legend. Thus, the A110 number 165 embodies the French spirit of motorsport, defined by technical ingenuity and contagious passion.
The atmosphere of the 1975 Tour de France is etched in the collective memory of rally enthusiasts. Horns blare as competitors pass by, mechanics hustle in improvised closed parks, and timers examine their watches with the precision of a goldsmith. This miniature captures all this excitement and passion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?

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.
