Auto Storica is pleased to announce the sale of this Alpine-Renault A110 1300 G.
Few machines evoke as much emotion and respect as the Alpine-Renault A110. This little French gem is more than a car: it’s a living piece of history, a rally legend that, even today, gives goosebumps to those lucky enough to see it in action.
Conceived as a lightweight two-seater sports car, the first units were modest in power, producing only 51 hp. But its excellent chassis could handle more, and displacement and power steadily increased over the years.
Our model corresponds to the 1300 G version, developed in the late 1960s in Dieppe, France. Equipped with a new 1.3-liter Gordini engine — the same block used in the R8 Gordini — and fitted with dual Weber 40 carburetors, it produced 105 hp at 5,000 rpm, offering astonishing performance for its time.
At first glance, the power output may seem modest, but the car could reach 200 km/h. Because if there’s one word that defines the Alpine A110, it’s lightness: weighing just 700 kg, its power-to-weight ratio is phenomenal. The tubular chassis ensures agile, fun, and precise handling — perfect for twisty roads or mountain passes where it could take on rivals with twice the power… and twice the weight.
Aesthetically, the Alpine A110 is pure sporting elegance. A very racing-inspired design, thanks to the twin headlights integrated into a fiberglass body barely a meter tall. The interior is simple yet functional, focused entirely on the driving experience. Bucket seats, a small steering wheel, precise handling, and minimal insulation mean every curve is felt directly through the driver’s senses.
Sixty years have not gone unnoticed, and our unit is proof of that. The mechanicals are in perfect condition, and the braking system has been fully serviced at our facility: new calipers, pads, and brake master cylinder. However, the bodywork needs some cosmetic attention, and the chassis could use a proper setup to continue conquering mountain roads at full pace.
If you’ve always dreamed of owning one of the greatest rally cars in history but were held back by budget, now is the time. It's not all about speed. Enjoying the restoration process will create a unique bond with a machine that will reward your effort with endless satisfaction.
