The Alpine-Renault A110 was no stranger to the racing in the early
1970’s, winning several rally championships throughout the world in
1973 due to its proven performance and handling. Its striking
appearance was first penned by Giovanni Michelotti, who was also
responsible for lines from Ferrari, Maserati, BMW and other great
makes of the period. While initial production was exclusive to
France, by 1965 the Mexican Diesel National company (DINA) was
given a license and started producing their own A110 under the name
of Dinalpin Renault. While in production for 9 years it is
estimated that less than 1000 Dinalpins’ were constructed. Their
exceptional build quality and proven design offered the Mexican
Market something uniquely European that was assembled within their
own country.
This particular Dinalpin was purchased new in February 1969 and was
well cared for by a couple of owners before being purchased in 1997
by a Mr. Juan Antonio Calvillo of Angel Urraza who restored the car
into a vintage race car in 1999. The race car conversion was
completed so that the vehicle could compete in the Comision
Nacional de Automoviles Clasicos de Competencia A. C. (CNCC)
section of the Federacion Mexicana De Automovilismo Deportivo A. C.
(FEMADAC). During his 17 years of racing with the car Mr. Calvino
would take home three championships in several categories, as well
as multiple awards in rally races. In 2011, Dinalpin was shown at
the Gran Concurso Internacional de Elegancia where it took home a
3rd place trophy. The vehicle has been photographed numerous times
for brochures, newspaper articles, and the February 2014 Mexican
issue of the watch magazine “Revolution”, where it was feautured on
the cover as well as in a five page spread.
Finished in classic and desirable Metallic Blue with a beautiful
black interior, this A110 still wears its vintage race livery with
4-wheel disc brakes, 55 liter gas tank, aluminum radiator, racing
seats with Simpson 5- point harness belts, full roll cage, Cibie
Rally lights and custom dash board with full toggle switches
controlling all major components. Power is derived from a fully
machined, 2-liter Renault 18 engine with dual Weber 45 carburetors
that is pushing well over 120hp to the rear wheels. It comes with
stacks of documentation including past registrations, three full
photo albums of racing photos, copies of vehicles media
appearances, extra racing decals and patches, as well as its
original owner’s manual, bill of sale and an original sales
brochure! We are proud to offer this Dinalpin to the most astute
collector or alert investor who desires to own one of the best!
