Alpine A110 1800 - SAN REMO 73, WORLD CHAMPION
The inaugural Rallye San Remo was held in 1928 and it remained on the World Rally Championship calendar from 1973 until 2003. There was a duality to this event; the glamour of the Italian seaside town leading to gruelling stages above, as well as the mixture of tarmac and gravel surfaces that kept drivers truly on their toes.
These stages felt made for the nimble responses of a rear-engined berlinette, however, and in the World Rally Championship’s inaugural 1973 season the Alpine A110 scored a famous victory here.
Two places on the podium – including a win for the no. 1 car of Jean-Luc Thérier and Jacques Jaubert – sealed a world title for Alpine, placing a brand less than two decades old convincingly above its established rivals.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
In loving memory of Dr. Peter Bradbury.
Embark on a heartfelt journey with "You Only Live Once", a moving short film that uncovers a cherished bond between a father and daughter, united by their shared love for French automotive engineering and Renault Alpine. In this case a 1973 Alpine A110 v85 1300. This isn't just a story about a car; it's a tribute to the importance of family, memories, and legacy.
Listen to tender recollections of school runs that were more than just a commute; they were moments of joy, a symphony of engine roars, and the scent of adrenaline.
In a twist of fate, after the loss of the narrator's father, an Alpine A110 surfaces at an auction, presenting an opportunity to rekindle those treasured memories. It's a poignant reminder of the film's message: seize the moment because "You Only Live Once".
This film is a testament to the Alpine A110's enduring allure, a car that's more than a collection of metal and parts, but a feeling that transcends time. It's a nostalgic ride that's sure to resonate with car aficionados and story lovers alike. Join us for an unforgettable drive down memory lane, where every turn is a story and every drive feels like coming home.

Alpine A110 San Remo`73
Die erste Rallye San Remo wurde 1928 ausgetragen und war von 1973 bis 2003 fester Bestandteil des Kalenders der Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft. Das Event hatte traditionell zwei Seiten: Einerseits den Glamour der mondänen italienischen Küstenstadt und andererseits die Mischung aus Asphalt und Schotter auf den Harten Etappen oberhalb der Stadt, bei der die Fahrer stets ihr ganze Können zeigen mussten.
Diese Etappen waren jedoch wie geschaffen für die schnellen Reaktionen einer leichten Alpine Berlinette mit Heckantrieb. Und in der ersten Saison der Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft 1973 errang die Alpine A110 hier einen besonderen Sieg.
Zwei Plätze auf dem Siegertreppchen - darunter ein Sieg für das Auto mit der Nr. 1 von Jean-Luc Thérier und Jacques Jaubert - besiegelten den Weltmeistertitel für Alpine. Damit setzte sich die - nicht einmal zwei Jahrzehnte alte - Marke überzeugend von ihren etablierten Rivalen ab.
Jean-Luc Thérier und Beifahrer Jacques Jaubert fahren einen erstaunlichen Vorsprung von sechs Minuten auf den nächsten Rivalen heraus und können den Siegerpokal in die Höhe recken. Alpines fünfter Saisonsieg reicht aus, um bereits drei Rennen vor Saisonende den Weltmeistertitel nach Dieppe zu bringen.

Quo Vadis alpineLAB?
Im Frühjahr 2023 waren wir gezwungen, eine folgenschwere Entscheidung treffen. Unsere alte Webseite wurde schon 2 Jahre zuvor gehackt und war nicht mehr reparabel. Abgesehen davon war diese auch schon in die Jahre gekommen und in vielerlei Hinsicht nicht mehr zeitgemäß.
Die Frage lautete also: "...soll alpineLAB sterben oder weiter bestehen"?
Wir entschieden uns für Letzteres und scheuten keine Kosten und Mühen, unsere Erlebnisse, Anekdoten und letztendlich auch unsere Restaurationsarbeit für jedermann zugänglich zu machen.

1973 World Rallye Championship
The 1973 World Rally Championship was the inaugural season for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) World Rally Championship (WRC) format. It consisted of 13 events, each held in a different country of the world. Many of the events would be staples of the series through to today, including Monte Carlo, Sweden, Tour de Corse, and the RAC Rally, while others would soon be replaced in the schedule. As with following seasons, gravel events formed the majority of the schedule. Two pure tarmac and one snow and ice rally were also included, as well as three events held on a mixture of soft and hard surface roads.
The first award of the Championship for Manufacturers was firmly won by Alpine-Renault, which had already gained fame competing for the earlier International Championship for Manufacturers. Fiat successfully placed second ahead of challenger Ford, but could not seriously challenge the winning Alpine. However, this would also prove to be the last award for the Alpine, as it gave way in subsequent years to Italian firms Lancia and Fiat. A French manufacturer would not regain the Championship again until Peugeot successfully captured the 1985 World Rally Championship for Manufacturers.
From 1973 to 1978, the WRC only awarded a season championship for the winning manufacturer. Scoring was given for the highest placing entry for each manufacturer. Thus if a particular manufacturer was to place 2nd, 4th, and 10th, they would receive points for 2nd place only. However, the manufacturer would still gain an advantage in scoring from its other entries, as the points for the 4th and 10th place entries would be denied to other manufacturers.

EMBRACE THE FLAWS
"What does it mean? What does it say about us?
Really, it's nothing short of the only viable consequence.
A whole is the sum of its parts. And then some.
So as I sit in front of each and every, last and viable, essential piece
I give my very best, my all. Every step deserves the utmost attention.
And when it is all set and done, when the pursuit of perfection has ended,
there is only one thing left to do.
Embrace the flaws."

You Don't Drive An Alpine A110, You Wear It
We've been lucky over the years to have had the chance to not only see a few Alpine A110s in the metal, but to actually drive them. As an office we've had this saying for a while that "you don't really drive an A110, you wear it." It's somewhat of a running joke that has been tough to describe to outsiders. Any time the marque or model was mentioned, that phrase would come out and we'd all chuckle. That was until we decided to make a short film, the latest in our "Morning Coffee" series about what that experience is like.
The cockpit is so intimate, so snug, so perfectly purpose built that it's akin to applying a wetsuit to yourself to go surfing. There's a certain ritual to the way you have to prepare to get in the car, to turn the key in the ignition, the whole thing is just so personal.
This one is owned by our friend Jürgen Clauss, the man behind AlpineLab: “Sometimes, when stepping into my garage, and looking at my cars, I am surprised that it is already 30 years and the Alpine hasn’t worn out yet,” he explains from his German workshop that specializes in these small French sports cars. “I still like to look, drive, and work on these cars every day,” he says, “To me, it was always unique, always something special; you even had to have certain ergonomic prerequisites to drive an Alpine.”

One Man’s Alpine Awakening
What would it take for you to follow a dream?
Impossibly small, light, fast, and loud, Alpine sports cars have excelled at just about every form of motorsport they were entered in, but especially rally, and hillclimb competition. The cars are unlike anything else—and are just the thing to inspire a man to restore them…many of them.
“Sometimes, when stepping into my garage, and looking at my cars, I am surprised that it is already 30 years and the Alpine hasn’t worn out yet,” says Jürgen Clauss, founder of alpineLAB, a German shop that specializes in these small French sports cars.
“I still like to look, drive, and work on these cars every day,” he says, “To me, it was always unique, always something special; you even had to have certain ergonomic prerequisites to drive an Alpine.”
Dedicated to getting the details right during preservation and restoration, Clauss says that he sees something special in each component of classic cars, but especially an Alpine. “To me, each and every part is a sculpture on its own,” he says. “You just have to open your eyes and see the beauty of those parts (and) to be passionate about this hobby, even without a finished car.”
What started as a hobby and collection based around street versions of the Renault-powered Alpine A110, Clauss now focuses on the race cars. It’s been a long, 3-year relationship with the marque, which invariably led to him being somewhat poetic when explaining his passion.
“Owning an Alpine is quite like a relationship with a beautiful woman: Somedays, it’s exhausting, but in the end, it’s all about maintaining the passion, highlighting her beauty, and loving her.”
We couldn’t agree more. You can visit Jürgen’s website at alpinelab.de (http://www.alpinelab.de)

Circuit des Remparts 2014
Following the traces of Juan Manuel Fangio and Michel Vaillant
It is afternoon. It is race time. We are told that about 30,000 people flock the streets of Angoulême. We are ready and confident. Our Berlinette runs fantastic; the engine is smooth, responsive and has enough torque to be competitive. With a good start we should be able to gain a few positions to compensate for our mid field grid position.
We are not taking our eyes away from the person with the French banner who is supposed to start the race. But it all happens surprisingly quickly: the flag suddenly goes up and here they go … let the Alpines are let loose.

Eric Comas Racing Team 2003
In 2003 a new chapter in my life was started. My son Fabian was born and Eric Comas founded his legendary "Alpine Racing Team".
I got very much inspired by this impressions Eric has recorded from the Rallye Monte Carlo Historic 2003. I remember watching this clip with my little son almost every day. It gave me my daily dosis of alpine madness and was fueling my passion to the max.
