Beautiful sports cars from the 1960's and 1970's. Even in the 1990's the Alpines were still made and the brand was revived again in the 2010's with a new and modern version of the A110.

Following are some pictures of a 1971 A110 model at 1:16 scale, by BBURAGO, that I have.

And here are some pictures of an A110 in real life that I made during a vacation in the French Jura. It shows how small the A110 actually is.

In my childhood times, during a vacation in the Alsace in 1977, I came across an A310. For a longer time, as child, this was my favorite sports car.
