One of the best looking cars of all times. I live in mexico city and do remember when I was a little boy there were quite a few of the running In the streets. The moment a friend's older brother took me for a ride, changed the way I see cars forever. It is the reason I studied mechanical engineering and the reason I have worked for the automotive industry for the last 20 years
Wow, ive never had that kind of luck, the most rare thing ive seen in CDMX was a bunch of japanese imported cars, never had any luck on any european legends
I was just too young to appreciate this car when I was a kid but I lusted after its successors the A310 and A610, all Alpine's have been sensational looking cars for the day.
+Tang Stew Avec l'autophobie ambiante en France, je préfère les voir partir vers des contrées davantage aptes à accepter des personnes de bon goût. Quand on voit des Porsche de passionnés ayant economisé longtemps brûler lors des manifestations...
La nouvelle Alpine pourrait peut être relancer l'attrait des français pour les belles voitures. Mais c'est vrai que la France à complètement abandonné le secteurs des sportives. Il n'y a eu que des version sportives de modèles "tous publiques" (mégane RS, clio RS, RCZ R...) et non pas des modèles sportifs plus exclusifs.
Tang Stew Il faut espérer que les gens achèterons beaucoup de ces voitures et les prix en occasion vont baisser par la suite. Il suffit de regarder les prix d'un cayman aujourd'hui. Ce serait génial que la nouvelle Alpine et ses descendantes connaissent le même sort!
Les Dinalpin ont été produites au Mexique il me semble. Elles ne sont donc pas réellement parties, n'ayant jamais posé les roues dans les contrées hexagonales.
Having moved to Bulgaria a couple years ago and seeing now that they produced these things here, I now have a good source for a history project 😂 thank you so much for making the video!
One of the iconic cars of the past era. And at the same time, i feel one that is overlooked and that's despite its heritage. Few cars can claim its status, fewer look as pretty, fewer feel as it does. It's not up there with the grands, it's nowhere near the middle. I've always felt this car was in its own class, alone, yet better for it.
It's still one of my dream cars but I never made it to have one. The closest thing I got was a Simca 1200S which was also a lot of fun to drive. You did a great job and a nice video. Wish you always save journeys.
rene Porsche Unfortunately not. The rust has eaten on it a lot and I gave it away for nearly nothing a long time ago. The 1200 S was made in the time when rust protection was an unknown idea. But it was a nice car which gave me a lot of fun.
Nice car, it was build in Brazil also, licensed by Willys Overland, it was called Interlagos, after the São Paulo, race track.. It was very successful as a racing car at its time.
Beautiful car,first saw one being driven by Pat Moss Carlsson on the RAC rally early seventies,have always wanted one ! Now have to be contented in watching the at Angouleme in September,usually 20 or so there. The racing around the city walls is spectacular,Porsche ,Alpine ,ERA ,Maserati, Matra ,Bugatti ,MG etc etc !!
+allcartuner Depend a lot of where do you live. The Alpine A110 has its proper cult! At the beginning of 90's, you found one for less 10k€ today it is 60k€ at the minimum and more 200k€ for 1800Gr4 racing spec
This car was produced in Brazil by Willys Overland under license from 1961 to 1966. That engine has 0.998 cc and 70 cv. Here in Brazil the name of this car is Interlagos, in allusion to the Interlagos race circuit in Sao Paulo.
The fog lamps were ment for the rally cars, you can brouse Alpine a110 images, and they help cause the regular lights are not very powerful. Pretty car as you say.
BEST car guy comment EVER: "I'm not going to let it go. This is a dead man's car. This is going to my grave with me, I'll live in this car if I have to."
I really hope he doesn't mean what he's saying and take it to his grave (I know, of course he isn't). Classics like these are heirlooms and should be passed on from one generation to the next, celebrated. preserved and loved.
I was reading about these cars a few years back and got the impression that licensing one in California would be near impossible. Maybe this was licensed for California in the 60's or 70's
these were the Mexican version of the A110, built in Mexico under license great car nonetheless also only available with the 1100 cc motor when the French made A110 was available with 1300, 1444, 1600 and 1800 cc motors.
They were made with 1300 engines, actually 1289 and a weber 23 36, headers and an oil cooler, but the head was the regular Sierra head not the Gordini or crossflow head. They also produce the GT4 and the Cabriolet in very small numbers, 693 altogether, according to the AMIA A.C. Boletin Estadístico Mensual
+Aurelio Nino you'd better go to Spain, because the FASA production was bigger :) and you could find some 1400cc (the only ones almost with this engine at origin)
Did a swap in 1976 my Capri 3.0 ghia for a Alpine A110 1300 S in Gordini Blue. Had it for 9 months then sold it Muppet it only stood me at £3000.00 double mupprt

+breizhilien The cars for sale in America were mostly Peugeot, Renault and Citroen. It seemed like only musty college Professors and oddballs would buy these cars. French cars broke down regularly and the repair costs were high. A French car nut could usually keep one running by collecting a backyard full of them. As a child My wife passed out in the Mohave desert riding in the back seat of a rear engine Dauphine; my Dad had a 1959 Simca, the brakes suddenly quit, he smashed it through the front doors of a Church. First gear broke twice, the third time he sold it, as is.
+Mr. Johnson Perhaps this may have been said at some point in the long past, but I don't think this would be true in today's world. And honestly I wouldn't mind if Renault were to start to sell cars in North America if it meant that we would have access to the likes of the Megane RS and the upcoming all-new Alpine.
+Ian Miles Peugeot, Renault and Citroen left the USA because Americans had become used to Japanese levels of reliability from their cars, and the reliability of the French cars was, to put it charitably, horrific. Alfa and Fiat left around the same time for very much the same reasons. Americans justifiably would not but such unreliable cars. This is not my opinion, this is a fact.
There's also the Spainish made A110s. Each CAR is individual, let alone what each factory did, then add in what each team did (remember, almost all these cars were raced). Of the 7 or so I've worked on, not one is ultimately the same. We have 2 in the workshop at the moment (one French, one Spanish), and there are so many subtle differences the mind boggles.
+M.I. Fadhil incorporated foglights arrived later on. But initially, they used to produce it like this in Dieppe. (sadly a lot of the old cars with only 2 headlights were modified to look like the new ones) Actually the set of wheels is also the ones sold at Dieppe at the beginnings, so visually, there is nothing different apart the signature in the front...

Nice how one moment in a car can change your life. Save a child! Teach them to drive stick...
I like that he didn’t go with the cliché that he’s a custodian of the car caring for it for next generations of owners.
I was just too young to appreciate this car when I was a kid but I lusted after its successors the A310 and A610, all Alpine's have been sensational looking cars for the day.
one of the best looking car's I've ever seen
A very cool car, with an owner that posesses the correct attitude, to live in it if necessary....
A110 is one of my fav cars. Love the Blue ones
+Matt Jenkins (vwgolfer187) : The real Alpine a110 is often "french blue" but the dinalpin is a replica from Mexico !
I'm glad to be french when I see such good looking cars like this Alpine. :)

one of my favorite cars. and im glad a real car guy owns it and not just a car collector
Im glad there are some around the globe, that also keep racing 'em
@@mariasalazar641 I keep mine racing all weeks . I bought it 2435€ ( 2000$ ) in 1974 and now costs 135,000$
Another Fantastic Portrait! Thank you for sharing such interesting, well loved machines and their caretakers. Great choice of roads.
I'm 47 and never heard of this car that's why I love this channel I look forward to each posting
always loved the lines of these. The sound is incredible
I laughed at the half-hearted way he said: "It's all part of the fun," when talking about it ending up on the back of a flatbed..
I love the car and I especially love it's being used the way it is. Thank you david.
Sublime. Makes up for the other A110 video
Awesome! The car is perfect for the owner.
Awesome! The owner is perfect for the car ;-)
I live in this car if i have to!! Priceless
Cool car, cool guy... awesome job on the video as usual.
I've always found the A110 a stunning car, but god, this car is so amazing in red!
Love the look of this car. Well worn and used but still in great shape. Exactly how a car should be.
Love the engine sound its GORGEOUS and ANGRY

Great showcase of the beauty of Northern California as always. I'd never seen this type of car before. Thanks for putting it in the spotlight!
Great video and great owner. Webers with a Devil just sound sooo good.
Wish I still had my 1300 R8 Gordini
The first time I ever saw one of these my mouth hit the ground it’s been there every since. I was twelve at the time I’m 51 now.
Pure passion....! I never knew they made them in Mexico and Spain ,either......great news!
Love these, strikingly tiny pretty little cars like its British cousin the Ginetta G15.
Breath taking pictures for an iconic car ! Great ! 👍♥️🙂
Great video, and I like the owners attitude. As I always say, cars come into my life, but they never leave!
Hi Dave, great to hear your voice again and glad you still got your Gloucestershire accent x
Love that "Speed Racer" Mach 5 sound!!
Can't wait for a A310 feature
my god, those alpines a110 sure are magnificent!
It's still one of my dream cars but I never made it to have one. The closest thing I got was a Simca 1200S which was also a lot of fun to drive.
You did a great job and a nice video. Wish you always save journeys.
do you still have your Simca ?
Petrolicious should make a video with a simca 1000 rally
rene Porsche
Unfortunately not. The rust has eaten on it a lot and I gave it away for nearly nothing a long time ago. The 1200 S was made in the time when rust protection was an unknown idea. But it was a nice car which gave me a lot of fun.
sorry
:_(
Such a pretty little car.
One always appears at an annual local (to me) motorshow and always has people around it wondering what it is.
Nice car, it was build in Brazil also, licensed by Willys Overland, it was called Interlagos, after the São Paulo, race track.. It was very successful as a racing car at its time.

I'll be there as well , can't wait!
"I live in this car if I have to!" -- what a car!
Alpine was 2 times rally world Champion in the 70's
Northern Cali I knew it! Great Job Petrolicious!! Beautiful Car!
he truly loves his car
Never heard of the car but WOW! Some draw dropping scenes and that noise!
I love it.. never seen one .thank you for sharing this amazing car
A110 has always been one of my favorites! Such an underrated and not well known car.
+allcartuner Depend a lot of where do you live. The Alpine A110 has its proper cult!
At the beginning of 90's, you found one for less 10k€ today it is 60k€ at the minimum and more 200k€ for 1800Gr4 racing spec
Gorgeous car indeed. You're a man of taste!
pretty car. I really like the wheels. Well done.
Great interview/expose, & great car.
Really is gorgeous!

Superb!
again.... awesome.....
Beautiful car beautifully shot film.
Did anyone else expect him to drive into a tunnel and encounter a bulldozer though?
Soooooooo much want!
I admit i never heard of alpin. Its a beauty!
+Timus Me neither! very pretty, apart from those fog lamps!
The fog lamps were ment for the rally cars, you can brouse Alpine a110 images, and they help cause the regular lights are not very powerful. Pretty car as you say.
Beautiful. Now to go play GT6 with a 110.
lol right! is not bad on gt6 😊
+01FozzyS This car is one of the most fun to drive in GT6.
+satellite964
True but GT6 is kind of dead now.
dylan snow I'm sure GT Sport will have the 110
+dylan snow we need so much a gt7 dont know what they are waiting 😡 but anyways on the 6 there still a lot of people online!
BEST car guy comment EVER: "I'm not going to let it go. This is a dead man's car. This is going to my grave with me, I'll live in this car if I have to."
First time I knew of Alpine was in Gran Turismo :)
Great video
Ditto, boss.
Fantastic video, and fantastic car!
Lovely Vid, great footage, Cool car and set up with the engine - sounds was about perfect for it. Thanks a lot ;D
I really hope he doesn't mean what he's saying and take it to his grave (I know, of course he isn't).
Classics like these are heirlooms and should be passed on from one generation to the next, celebrated. preserved and loved.
Sweet car, I would live in it too...
I was reading about these cars a few years back and got the impression that licensing one in California would be near impossible. Maybe this was licensed for California in the 60's or 70's
Its beautiful
I won't mind having an Alpine as a home, or hell as a coffin too if I own one.
Second only to the Stratos, is this the purest form of non-4wd rallying.
But the A110 has curves, the Stratos has wheel arches.
037
+Fasmukji I. What do you mean by that? Yes, a Lancia 037 is a car, what about it?
+Mikko Kukkonen Is also a great 2WD rally car, was just adding to your thoughts, did not want to be harsh, sorry
Che macchina........ impareggiabile
That sounds really nice. Better than my preconceived notions
That’s what i call a french beauty
I'm a simple man. I see a new Petrolicious video in the feed, I press like.
amazing footage... as usual
사운드 아주 죽이네요. 부럽습니다.
It was produced in Brazil also but under Willys Overland brand and the name Interlagos
uno como hombre se siente unico cuando sabe que esta manejando un auto que tienen 6 personas en el planeta, uno se siente con confianza

+Guillaume Laplanche the 1800cc was a race-prepped overbored and stroked 1600cc. the A110 was never factory fitted with a 1800cc. .
True, same goes with the 1444 but these could be fitted if ordered at the time.
They were made with 1300 engines, actually 1289 and a weber 23 36, headers and an oil cooler, but the head was the regular Sierra head not the Gordini or crossflow head. They also produce the GT4 and the Cabriolet in very small numbers, 693 altogether, according to the AMIA A.C. Boletin Estadístico Mensual
bravo!
i saw this guy at Westportal in SF
Beautiful car. Where was this filmed?
looks like Im gonna have to go to mexico now and start hunting for one
+Aurelio Nino you'd better go to Spain, because the FASA production was bigger :)
and you could find some 1400cc (the only ones almost with this engine at origin)
That engine sound... Mmmmh..
the dinalpine is armed in Mexico for what I understand in the factory DIESEL NACIONAL (DINA) hence the name DINALPINE
Did a swap in 1976 my Capri 3.0 ghia for a Alpine A110 1300 S in Gordini Blue. Had it for 9 months then sold it Muppet it only stood me at £3000.00 double mupprt
If some were made here in Mexico City.. I Would like too see one around here
What song is playing? I need these soundtracks!
Sexy car, right up there
Petrolicious, where is my NSX Video....
They've had an R32 GT-R before. I don't think an early NSX would be out of the question.
And MR2's as well
Lovely Mexican car!
Does anyone know what those Belgian car comic books are at 5:22?
Gorgeous! Lots of Pininfarina and Zagato style cues. I hope he was joking about taking it to his grave! Should be handed down to the next caretaker.
love when i wake up and theres a new petrolicious video to watch
yes beautiful videos by Petrolicious just makes my day.
