The Story.

1954 Jean Redele won Coupe des Alpes with his tuned Renault 4CV car and to celebrate that victory, he decided to name his new car company as Societe des Automobiles Alpine. As first model, they released A106 Mille Milles, which was Sensation in 1955 Paris Car exhibition.

in 1960, followed another 4CV based on model, also drawn by Michellotti, called Berlinette Tour de France, which later on was known as A108.

The real breakthrough came with A110, shown in 1962. This car, unlike it's predecessors, shared mechanical components with brand new Renault 8 and it's racing variation called "Gordini". Renault 8 Gordini was renault's best to beat Mini Coopers now storming in rallies and tracks around the europe. Redele took the proven A108 platform with strong tubular central

backbone chassis and light fiberglass body and changed the aging 4CV drivetrain to brand new 8 Gordini racing parts, while Michellotti draw the rear end again with the familiar face. The result was stunginly looking and very fast car with yet smallish fuel consumption. The most limiting factor was the brakes; the original Gordini's discs were not up to task stopping the car from over 200km/h speeds which the car was capable. Early racers commented about brakes being overheated easily.

Things were however on change, as the old classification limits (where 1150cc was one of them) were changed and 8 Gordini soon was updated to oversized 1150cc block. This gave nicely some overboring space to under the new 1300cc limit. It is however another story of Alpine A110 1300S.

This particular in game car is equipped with:

- factory racing 1100cc block (bored to under 1150cc class limit)

- Homologated 4-speed Gordini racing gearbox.

- Minimal racing weight: 550kg + 80kg driver.

- wide selection period correct final gears.

- Tyres are Historic racing Dunlop CR65. (same as 1968 Cooper 1275 S)

...all made as authentic as possible.
