The Alpine A110: Birth of a Legend
Launched in 1973 , the Alpine A110 represents the culmination of the creative genius of Jean Rédélé, founder of the Alpine brand. This revolutionary sports car was designed to democratize the sensations of sporty driving, while maintaining a very French approach to the automobile. Its tubular chassis and polyester bodywork give it remarkable lightness, a key characteristic of its design philosophy.
The model is distinguished by its fluid and harmonious lines , the result of extensive aesthetic research that prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency. With its Renault engine placed in a central rear position, the A110 offers an optimal weight balance that makes it a formidable weapon on winding roads. Its marketing met with immediate success among enthusiasts, confirming the relevance of Jean Rédélé's project.
This Alpine A110 quickly became the emblem of a certain idea of French motorsport, combining performance and elegance in a particularly cohesive whole. Its impact on the French automotive market of the 1970s went far beyond that of a simple niche vehicle.
Alpine: The Art of the French Sports Car
Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé , Alpine was born from one man's passion for motor racing and his desire to create affordable sports cars. Based in Dieppe, the company quickly developed unique expertise in the design of lightweight, high-performance vehicles, relying on close collaboration with Renault for the supply of mechanicals.
By the time the A110 was created, Alpine had already proven itself in competition with the A108 models and the first versions of the A110. The brand had built a solid reputation in the world of rallying, a discipline where lightness and agility take precedence over raw power. This philosophy is deeply imbued in Alpine's DNA and is reflected in every detail of the A110 .
The year 1973 marked a turning point for Alpine, which benefited from increased support from Renault and was thus able to develop a more ambitious range. This period corresponded to the golden age of the brand, which accumulated sporting successes while developing its reputation among the general public thanks to models like this orange Alpine A110 .
A Color that Tells a Story
The dark orange hue of this Alpine A110 is not insignificant and reveals a little-known part of the brand's history. This color, officially called "Dark Orange," was offered in the Alpine catalog as a bold alternative to more conventional shades. It testifies to the avant-garde spirit that animated the brand in the 1970s, a period when the French automotive industry still dared to use bright and expressive colors.
This particular color was particularly popular with young buyers of the time, who saw it as an expression of a certain rebellion against established automotive codes. The dark orange allowed one to stand out on the roads, clearly affirming the sporting ambitions of its owner. Today, this shade has become one of the most sought-after by collectors, perfectly symbolizing the spirit of the 1970s.
Orange Alpines from this period are often associated with the brand's early World Rally Championship victories. Although factory cars generally sported the traditional blue livery, many private drivers chose this orange color for their cars, creating a lasting association between this shade and Alpine's sporting excellence.
This dark orange color also evokes the carefree, optimistic spirit of the Trente Glorieuses, a period when automobiles still held the promise of adventure and discovery. Owning an orange Alpine A110 was a sign of social success and a taste for fine French machinery.

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.

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.
