1978 Alpine A310 - VIN A3102700VA44492

 

 

 We have available this excellent example of a mid-70's sports car with rally and Group 4 heritage.  It is an original car with only 24550 miles (39061 km) from new.   The good care that this A310  has benefitted from is shown by the excellent interior. crack free dash cover. and perfect seats and carpet.    All window glass is unblemished and chip free.  The fiberglass body is in exceptional condition.   Mechanically the drive line is sound from the engine on including a good clutch. fully synchronized transmission and quiet final drive.   Four-wheel disk brakes bring the car to a safe stop and quickly.   This is the best sorted A310 known to exist in the US.

Paint is original and blemish free.  All badges are installed and all trim is in excellent condition. Inspection will show that all instruments work (speedometer. tachometer. voltmeter. oil pressure. fuel level. and coolant temperature).  Even the wheels fitted with new tires are immaculate. The newly aligned car handles well and is fun to drive.  It starts readily whether cold or warm.

Recently all hoses and lines were replaced for the fuel. brake. vacuum. cooling and heating systems (stainless water tubing replaced original carbon steel tubing).   Further recent work is detailed in the service documents available to the serious bidder by request to the seller.  The car was formerly registered in California but the potential buyer from there should be aware that an emissions test may be needed.

The following summarizes the technical specifications for the A310.
