Highlights

Restyled by Opron with V6 PRV engine
One of only 9,276 ever produced
Very well preserved inside and out

The most

Following the resounding success of the A110 in rallying, Alpine wanted to extend its winning streak with the A310. The first four-cylinder models were considered to be underpowered and were unable to match the triumphs of their predecessor. Alpine commissioned legendary car designer Robert Opron to redesign the model, and the Cléon-Alu engine was replaced by the more proven PRV V6.

The new A310 V6 was the car its predecessor should have been, a true rival to the 911 with exceptional handling and 148bhp to spare. This 1979 example is one of only 1,381 produced that year, out of a total of 9,276 units. It appears to be very well preserved inside and out, and in very good condition for its age.

These Alpines are rarely found on the market, so don't miss out on this charming example.
