This Alpine A110 1300 G was desirably specified with the optional front-mounted radiator and an additional central fuel tank for greater driving range. Furthermore, the exterior is thought to have been painted in the rarely seen Jaune Rédélé, a shade of yellow named for Alpine’s founder. Supplied as a demonstrator for the Cros de Cagne dealership, the car was sold to the first owner—amateur rally driver Fancois Orlandini of Nice—with the licence plate “501 RP 06”. Entered in Group 4 events for Écurie Jean Behra, the A110 debuted on 9 September 1970 at the Course de Cote Gourdon Caussols. In early November 1970, Orlandini contested the Tour Ile de Beauté—the support race for the Tour de Corse—reserved for drivers holding a “National” licence. A week later, he finished 8th overall in the Critérium 83 rally. For 1971, the Alpine was repainted in more traditional metallic blue before Orlandini entered the Junior Monte Carlo Rally. From eight special stages around Nice and 65 competitors, Orlandini scored a 2nd-place result. Competing in the final edition of the Coupe des Alpes in June 1971, Orlandini suffered an accident during the first stage to force retirement. The Alpine was sold and passed through various French custodians before being acquired by the previous owner, who undertook a major restoration to return this A110 to its former glory. The polyester skin was replaced, but the chassis and tub were retained. Significant time was spent to source period-correct components, and the car was refinished in the striking shade of Jaune Rédélé. Offered with a report from marque historian Gilles Valerian, the Alpine is accompanied by copies of entry forms and historic imagery. A wonderful example, with period competition history and boasting rare factory optional extras, this A110 is sure to attract attention from collectors and enthusiasts.
