Two years later, Jean-Emile- Amédée Rédélé was born on May 17, 1922.

    PRESS RELEASE January 30, 2012 THE ALPINE A110 BERLINETTE: 50 YEARS YOUNG! “The Alpine Berlinette is really going to surprise a lot of people,” warned Amédée Gordini. They were prophetic words. The Berlinette was a stylish thoroughbred which people fell in love with. It defined its era just like creator, Jean Rédélé. The Alpine A110 Berlinette remains an inspiration even today – and embodied Renault's sporting passion and powertrain excellence. Renault will be celebrating the 50 th anniversary of the A110 throughout 2012, and most particularly at the following events: - Salon Rétromobile, Paris (February 1-5) : six A110s will be displayed on the Renault stand. - Goodwood Festival of Speed, England (June 29 – July 1): static display and demonstrations of A110s from the Renault Collection. - Festival Renault at the Linas-Montlhéry Autodrome, near Paris (September 22-23): static display and demonstrations of A110s from the Renault Collection.

The car had been developed from the Alpine A108, but was more stylish and more dynamic, with an even lower engine cover, a larger glazed area and the rear lights from the Renault 8. The new engine demanded changes to the air intakes: with the radiator mounted at the rear, cooling exits were opened in the resin bodywork behind the rear wheel arches, disguised with four chrome strips.

  • Paddy Hopkirk Gentleman, Legend in the Classic Mini and Fifth Beatle
    PADDY HOPKIRK GENTLEMAN, LEGEND IN THE CLASSIC MINI AND FIFTH BEATLE. His tour-de-force at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964 transformed the racing driver from Northern Ireland into the United Kingdom’s most illustrious rally driver and propelled the classic Mini to the status of motor-sport icon. Driving fun typical of the brand is still the passion of the racing driver, now 87 years old. And he continues to relish the challenge of winding country roads. Munich. The Ford Falcon was powered by eight cylinders and had a lead of 17 seconds. Paddy Hopkirk had stowed a can of caviar in the toolbox of his Mini Cooper S and he had just mastered the “Night of the Long Knives” in a rumbustious drive. In 1964, the Monte Carlo Rally was still a genuine adventure for all the competing racing drivers and the spectacle was broadcast live on television. This was the era when automobile manufacturers all over the world discovered rally sport as the perfect stage for presenting their models. And consequently, vehicles from different weight and performance classes competed against each other with a handicap formula providing appropriate compensation when allocating points. When Hopkirk, now 87 years old, talks about his tour-de-force driving the classic Mini with start number 37, the fascination of classic motor sport immediately comes alive. Today, Hopkirk can still get excited about the driving characteristics of the classic Mini. “The Mini was a very advanced motor car. Its front-wheel drive and the transversely mounted engine at the front presented significant advantages, just like the fact that the car was small given that the roads had lots of bends and were narrow,” explained the rally driver from Northern Ireland as he recalled his greatest triumph.

  • Alpine-Renault-A110
    RENAULT CLASSIC LES CAHIERS PASSION ALPINE RENAULT A110 01 ORIGINS The automotive landscape at the end of the 1930s was mainly populated by prestigious brand names, whose bulky models built on refined, sophisticated mecha- nics were not primarily made for racing. The reign of these iconic cars gradually declined in the middle of the following decade, making way for popular vehicles more suited to the prevailing market conditions. The rebirth of French industry saw a profound transformation in the automotive world and the “ Régie Nationale des Usines Renault ” (RNUR) introduced the model that would pave the way to its future growth: the Renault 4 CV. This small, economic family car, designed in the utmost secrecy and powered by modest mechanics, had one formidable asset - its weight - which bestowed it with remarkable > A 110 – Coque carrosserie plastique – 1968 agility.
