This Alpine A110 is an engaging and desirable classic sports car, which has been historically upgraded to Group 4 specification and boasts interesting rallying provenance. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.3-litre inline-four, fed by twin Weber 40 carburettors, delivering around 89kW to the rear wheels via a close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Valladolid-built road car, which is understood to have been first registered in 1969, and underwent its conversion to racing specification over 20 years ago. It was previously located in Italy, but has since been imported to Australia, where it has been with the seller for three years. This A110 boasts interesting previous historic rallying provenance, having participated in several Classic Targa Florio rallies, and reportedly having won its class in the 1999/2000 Sicilian Historic Car Championship. The seller notes that the car retains its Italian paperwork, including its FIA-approved Historical Technical Passport, making it eligible for entry into a number of international historic racing events. The odometer indicates 79,912 Kms, though this is not warranted. This A110 was historically upgraded to Group 4 rallying specification, which included the fitment of modified cams, a Gordini cylinder head, twin Weber 40 carburettors, a Moto Lita ‘Lecarra’ steering wheel, a more modern gear shifter and handbrake lever, a partial Sassa roll cage, upgraded front and rear radiators, twin Carello front spotlights, an internal kill switch, and a new fuel cell. This example is finished in a timeless shade of white with a contrasting red racing stripe, satin-black bumpers, and various rallying decals, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a wood veneer dashboard inlay. It rides on a set of 13-inch cast alloy wheels as seen on the 1600S, which are fitted with Bridgestone Regno 390 tyres. Equipment includes heater and ventilation controls, push-out rear quarter light windows, and a drilled pedal set. The car comes with various pieces of Italian paperwork, invoices for the roll bar and fuel tank, a technical passport, and ‘head-to-head’ and various A110-specific article pages. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: areas of fading, cracking and flaking in various places around the car’s paintwork, the door seals have aged, there is wear on the door cards, and there is some cracking on the wood veneer trim inlay, but there is no visible rust on the vehicle’s underside. This A110’s most recent maintenance was carried out in April 2024 at an indicated 79,790 Kms by Mechanista, which consisted of all the oils being changed, an inspection, and tuning. This Alpine A110 is a sought-after classic sports car, which has been upgraded to Group 4 rally specification, and boasts a rich motorsport heritage. Currently located in Australia but retaining its Italian paperwork, including its FIA-approved Historical Technical Passport, this A110 previously participated in Targa Florio Classica rallies, and reportedly won its class in the 1999/2000 Sicilian Historic Car Championship. Well-maintained and recently serviced, it does feature some appropriate, time-worn cosmetic imperfections, but should nonetheless make a fine addition to any collection, and a highly competitive entrant into a number of historic rally events.
