Looking for an Alpine A110

[barchetta_boy]

Hi everyone,

Been a while since I posted in this section. I'm looking for an Alpine A110 to buy. Just starting my research now (but have funds ready). Any pointers to web resources, owners clubs, specialists or indeed cars for sale, gratefully received.

Thanks

Joel

Let us know what cars you've already considered and mentally rejected beforehand as well

Planning on going to see that one. It's been up there for about a year, was £45,995 at first, you can still see the old sticker in the window at that price. Not so keen on paying £10k premium but could still be a decent car.

I don't really know what I'm looking for /asking about, other than the same common sense things you'd look for on any old car. EG are those seats original?

Front corner bumpers missing on that one....

That will be the one in Essex. Do your research. The A110 was produced in a number of countries and quite big numbers, aside of normal price related considerations origin and engine size/originality are key to value. I'm not an A110 owner but I have recently purchased an A110 transaxle, I was hunting for about six months and over that time I glanced at quite a few ads for A110s for sale and was surprised by the range of specs and asking prices. Good luck with the search, it is certainly a model I would love to own.

Does anyone know how to tell if a car is matching numbers?

I have restored a Dinalpin (Mexican built version of A110) over the past few years and am happy to pass on some contacts. Have you looked at the french web site leboncoin ?

There are a couple for sale at the Aguttes auction this month in Lyon:

I noticed earlier there are tons for sale in Switzerland (well not tons, but 15), but I guess with the current exchange rate and import duty to pay (I assume) they're not cheap.

I hadn't Tony no - looks like a general classifieds site. A good place to hunt for Alpines?

I tried to fit in - 1.86 cm - but it's even smaller than a period Elan. Great looking cars and obviously bags of fun. They sound the bits.

It is not the easiest site to navigate around but if you follow this link and sort by price which then only allows you to start at the cheapest - I go to the end and work backwards

Very original A108 on car and Classic at the moment.

What's that in old money? I'm 6' 1". Maybe I should sit in one before taking this any further!

Just change the category to Voitures to filter out all the magazines and stuff
