1975 Alpine Renault A310 1600 VF – ASI “Targa Oro” Certified – Fully Restored, Collector-Grade Condition Make: Alpine Renault Model: A310 1600 VF Year: 1975 Chassis no.: 1600.20959 Engine type: 844.34 no. 0056 Displacement: 1,605 cc Mileage: 75,000 km Certification: ASI “Targa Oro” (Gold Plate) Exterior color: Original Champagne Metallic Interior: Blue fabric – factory correct specification A rare and iconic French sports car The Alpine A310 1600 was introduced as the successor to the legendary A110, offering a more modern design while retaining Alpine’s original spirit: a lightweight, rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car. Produced from 1971 to 1976 in just 2,340 units, the A310 1600 VF is especially coveted for its purist approach and the naturally aspirated 1605cc engine derived from the Renault R16 TS. This car originally came with a Bosch fuel injection system, which has been replaced with twin carburetors during the restoration to improve performance and simplify maintenance. The original injection system is included with the sale. Provenance and documented restoration First registered in Mantua, Italy, in 1975, the car was re-registered in Siena in 1979, where it still retains its original black license plate and registration booklet. In 2009, the current owner – a passionate collector of 1970s European sports cars – discovered the car in neglected condition but with strong originality. He commissioned a full, nut-and-bolt restoration, staying true to factory specifications:
- Repainted in the original Champagne Metallic
- Blue fabric interior reupholstered to exact period-correct standards
- Engine, suspension, brakes, transmission, and chassis all overhauled
- Targa Oro ASI certification
- Factory color and interior specification
- Matching mechanical components
- Original injection system included
- Complete restoration history and documentation
