Rally driver and dealer Jean Redele branched out into producing
competition-slyle cars based on Renault running gear in 1956 wilt the
Alpine A106. The car proved so effective (winning its class in the 1956
Mille Miglia) that production blossomed as keen drivers clamoured to get
hold of their own versions. By the time the A110 hit the market in 1962
the formula was pretty much perfected with a glassfibre body fixed to
Renault 8 Gordini running gear, making for a seriously effective - and
good-looking - rally weapon.
