First Alpine‑Badge Car with a Fiberglass Body

Limited Production Run
Production of the A106 continued until about 1961, with roughly 650 examples built before the model was discontinued. This modest number makes well‑preserved examples especially prized by collectors.
Early Racing Success
Despite its modest size, the A106 achieved notable success on the track, including a class win in competition during its era. Its performance helped establish Alpine’s reputation for lightweight, agile sports cars.
