Dubbed ‘the French 911’, the Alpine A310 offers equally tail heavy thrills and a compelling back story. Initially a motorsport workshop in Dieppe, Alpine was acquired as a subsidiary of Renault, whose car’s it had been race-tuning to great success. Our 1980 example was driven down from Oregon for a full mechanical restoration at our workshop in California. Powered by a 2.7 litre V6 with triple 36mm Webers, with the concise handling of adjustable Gaz suspension.
