Dieppe cars are lighter. I suspect they made the bodies stronger for Mexico although it might just be what skills/technology were available there.
Classic Alpine A110s for sale
- Thread starter 21571
- Start date
Some time ago we had lunch in Dieppe with Jean Pierre Limondin before visiting the Alpine factory which was making the Clio Sport then. Jean came with his A110, the last one off the production line in 1977. He was the export manager for Alpine and said he had to go to Mexico to tell the management to go easy on the fibreglass as the they were making the bodies too thick and could not fit the windscreens. At least the Mexican cars had much stronger bodies.

I can't believe how many of these end un in the US where they are practically unknown. I think the rally history might push this one north of 200k.
Yes, a genuine factory competition car, that one! Clearly for smooth road racing. It'd hit a matchbox.

Ha! Almost there.
Wonder if it is going to Europe.
Bidding seems to have stagnated at US$30,000 with 4 days to go. There is more comments in the form of questions about the car so still plenty of interest in this little Dinalpin.45-Years-Owned 1970 Dinalpin Alpine A110 1.6L 4-Speed

Yes Col, I find it interesting that there seems to be minimal interest money wise in this A110. The Dinalpin beginnings that big of a turn off? I would very happily have it for the $46K AUD it is currently at, and some more, but I expect the reserve is way above my cut off. I would probably try to get the broken 5 speed for a few more dollars in the deal.
A long time ago I looked into bringing a Dinalpin in from Mexico, but it seemed the chance of actually getting the car were not 100%. Considered one from Texas, but by then prices were on the move out of my "toy" range.

Still stuck at US$30,000 with 2 days of bidding left. A few extra comments have been made with one guy keen to see a video of the engine running and the car driving.45-Years-Owned 1970 Dinalpin Alpine A110 1.6L 4-Speed

Now at $33500 with 13 hours left, and with videos of the car driving, both inside and out. I am lost at the lack of monetary interest in this car. Dinalpins, particularly ones that have been converted to 1600 and restored quite well, like this one, are surely worth much more.
To bid on BringaTrailer you need to have 5% of bid amount in your card account. I am sure the reserve is way above where the bidding is currently and way above what I could/would pay, but is it worth a bid?
