India Whiskey Charlie's exploration of the Alpine A110 GT in 2024 offers a timely look at whether this flyweight sports car continues to captivate enthusiasts. His post, featuring a video review and striking imagery, sets the stage for a deeper dive into the A110's enduring appeal and practical considerations from the WatchProSite community.
The A110 reference represents a specific offering within the Alpine product line, known for its distinct design characteristics and manufacturing period. This model is recognized by collectors for its particular aesthetic, which sets it apart from other references in the brand's history. Its production run concluded in the late 1970s, marking it as a piece from a defined era of the manufacturer.
Details regarding the case material, dimensions, and the specific movement caliber are integral to understanding the A110. The construction of the case and the type of crystal used contribute to its overall presentation and durability. The movement, whether automatic or manual, and its power reserve are key technical aspects that define its functionality and appeal to enthusiasts.
For collectors, the A110 holds significance as a reference that is no longer in current production, with the last modern examples having been phased out of the catalog. The scarcity of these pieces, particularly those from the final production years, contributes to their appeal in the secondary market. Its place in the brand's lineage offers insight into the evolution of Alpine's design philosophy.
They could have snatched a few sales from Porsche with a manual transmission but I understand they couldn't do it. There's no old fashioned sports car from french makers, even hot hatches are dead.
But this is something you can work on... I have some ideas for mine. Other than that, it is one of the most exciting cars from these 20 last years, in my opinion. A car full of life, charm, soul, character. You can remove 50 kilos easily, add a bit more power and torque, and tou have a bomb, a real bomb. I will never sell mine. A HUGE love affair.

I go back and forth…realistically my next one will be electric…Taycan?…no modding there and with autonomous I’m just less excited so thinking about having two jet skis modded…my stock skis will do @ 70-80 mph modded could be anywhere from 80-130…😜😜😜
but it didn’t stop me from buying the watch! 🫣😉
... errr ... what was I going to say ? ... oh ... yea, the Alpine is the best all-round car if you don't need a lot of luggage space ! And off course if you don't need to move more than 2 people. Bit difficult to take the dogs as well. Certainly not a car to tow your horse carriages. Can't go off-roading either I guess .... Maybe it's not so perfect after all, you can't even cross the Channel with it as it would definitely sink to the bottom of the sea ;-). Nicolas !!!! Sell me yours !! I'll giv
I wanna do you the favor to finally get rid of it !
