Equipment
1298/95hp four, single 2-barrel Weber, 4-speed, centerlock wheels with hub caps, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Dull bumpers. Decent older paint with a handful of scratches and cracks. Tidy but run engine bay. Significant but livable wear to the seats. A relatively rare Mexican-built Dinalpin and in this condition it’s a neat car for a value-conscious enthusiast who wants one of these rally legends to bomb around in for events.
Market commentary
As demand for the A110 grew along with its list of rally wins, Alpine of Dieppe, France contracted out construction of the rear-engine coupe to Spain, Brazil and even Bulgaria. The Mexican version, built by Diesel Nacional, goes by the name Dinalpin but is otherwise the same car, and it is rare with less than 1,000 built. But it’ll never be worth the same as the home-grown French version. A factory Alpine in this condition could have brought another 20 grand or more.
