In the south-west of Paris you will find the Vallée de Chevreuse – a quiet area full of forests with wonderful winding roads. Even stages of the Tour de France are run here. And here Jean-Pascal with his completely renovated Alpine A110 and Eric with his four-cylinder A310 recently raced in front of the photographer's lens from Petrolicious .
Jean-Pascal bought his A110 in 1988 at the age of seventeen as his first car. He wanted her as a teenager. It is a 1971 1300 with a Gordini engine. A small but powerful car that is proud of its rally history. But over time, his good, but not perfect, appearance was no longer enough for him. In 1995, he began a thorough renovation that lasted until 2004. Not a single part went unnoticed. And today he has a car that completely matches his dreams.
Eric first saw the A310 on the front page of Auto Journal in June 1976. It belonged to his uncle, a big car enthusiast. 36 years later, the time finally came to buy a classic car and he remembered his childhood dream. So he started looking for a suitable piece with his son until he came across one made in June 1976. The circle was closed. The car was, except for the interior, in good condition, but unfortunately it was painted red. However, with the help of experts, Eric decided to restore it to its former glory. He got it in 2012 and has been enjoying his A310 ever since.
