This stunning miniature replica of the number 57 Renault Alpine A110 from the 1969 Tour de Corse captures the essence of this legendary machine, driven by Jean-Claude Andruet. This exceptional collector's piece, in 1/43 scale, faithfully recreates one of the most iconic moments in French rallying.
A true passion piece for car and motorsport enthusiasts, this miniature embodies the golden age of French rallying and Alpine's dominance on the winding roads of Corsica.
Launched in 1961, the Alpine A110 was the culmination of Jean Rédélé's genius, the founder of Alpine. This revolutionary "Berlinette", affectionately nicknamed "Berlinette", was developed in the Dieppe workshops with a clear philosophy: combining lightness and performance. Built on a Renault 8 base, it featured a fibreglass body that kept it featherweight at just 700 kilos.
The 1969 model shown here benefited from the latest technical updates, notably the 1300 cc Renault engine producing close to 140 horsepower. This setup allowed the A110 to achieve remarkable performance while retaining exceptional agility on mountain roads. The 1969 Tour de Corse marked a crucial milestone in the model's history, proving its superiority on the most demanding stages.
Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé, Alpine was born from one man's passion for motor competition. Based in Dieppe, the French marque quickly specialised in creating lightweight, high-performance sports cars. By 1969, Alpine was already recognised as one of the most innovative manufacturers in motorsport, particularly in rallying.
1969 was a pivotal year for Alpine, which was beginning to establish itself firmly on the international stage. The brand, in its blue, white and red colours, was developing a unique expertise in building cars suited to the demands of rallying, combining mechanical reliability with pure performance. This philosophy would make Alpine one of the most decorated marques in world rally history, paving the way for its future World Championship triumphs.
Jean-Claude Andruet, nicknamed "The President" for his elegance and charisma, was one of the most respected drivers of his generation. Behind the wheel of this number 57 Alpine A110 at the 1969 Tour de Corse, he perfectly embodied the spirit of French rallying of that era. Andruet was known for a driving style that was both spectacular and controlled, capable of taming Corsica's most treacherous roads.
The 1969 Tour de Corse remains etched in memory as one of the most hotly contested editions of this legendary event. The winding roads of the Island of Beauty were the perfect playground for the Alpine A110, whose lightness and agility allowed it to tackle hairpin bends with surgical precision. This race helped forge Andruet's legend and firmly cemented Alpine's reputation in rallying.
The atmosphere of the Corsican rally in the 1960s was unique: spectators crowded the roadsides, creating an electrifying atmosphere that pushed drivers to give their all. Andruet, with his inimitable style and his blue Alpine A110, fully embraced this magic of French motorsport, an era when drivers were genuine popular heroes.
This Alpine A110 Tour de Corse 1969 naturally fits into any collection dedicated to Alpine-Renault model cars. It pairs perfectly with other iconic models such as rally model cars or replicas of 1960s model cars.
Collectors passionate about French motorsport will particularly appreciate this piece alongside other models in the French model cars collection. It is also an excellent companion to racing and competition model cars, celebrating the golden age of French rallying.
This miniature is aimed at both experienced collectors and car enthusiasts keen to discover the world of 1/43 scale model cars. It stands as an authentic tribute to French excellence in motorsport and has its place in any collection of classic model cars from 1950-1979.

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.
