Debut at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show
Alpine unveiled the A310 at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, building on the brand’s reputation for lightness and agility earned by the earlier A110 berlinetta.
Two‑generation production and modest output
Production ran from 1971 to 1985, split into a 1.6‑litre run (1971‑76) and a V6 run (1976‑84). AutoZine records 2,340 units of the 1.6‑litre model and 9,276 units of the V6, and Curbside Classic notes that annual output never fell below 1,000 cars except in the first and final half‑years.
Rear‑engine layout, Renault parts and rarity
The A310 kept Alpine’s rear‑engined, rear‑wheel‑drive layout and borrowed many components from Renault, including the steering rack. With fewer than 10,000 built in total, the car is considered a rare find, especially in the United Kingdom.
