THIS MOTOR CAR


The Alpine A110 is a name steeped in rallying legend. The original, born in the 1960s, was a lightweight, mid-engine French hero that famously won the first World Rally Championship in 1973. When the nameplate was revived in 2017, the mission remained the same: to create a pure, agile sports car focused on driver enjoyment, not chasing horsepower numbers. This focus earned it critical acclaim worldwide, even coming within a hair's breadth of winning the European Car of the Year award in 2019.


The A110 S variant took that already brilliant formula and sharpened it for enthusiasts wanting a more hardcore edge. With increased power (292 hp), a stiffer suspension, and more aggressive chassis tuning, the S is a fundamentally more focused machine—a back-to-basics, mid-engine driver's car that weighs barely 1,100 kg.

This particular 2020 example, finished in the stunning Thunder Grey Matt—a factory special colour that cost the original owner nearly £4,500—presents in exceptional condition with a single owner from new. Supported by a complete service history and just 6,727 miles indicated, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously preserved example of a modern classic.

IN SHORT: THE PURIST'S MODERN MID-ENGINE


The Alpine A110 S is a rare breed in today's automotive landscape: a lightweight, mid-engine sports car that prioritises driver engagement over outright numbers. Weighing just 1,100 kg, it delivers a level of agility and feedback that heavier, more powerful rivals simply cannot replicate. It is a car that rewards the driver at every corner, offering an analogue feel in a modern package.


This particular example has been cherished from new by a single owner who spared no expense in its preservation. The service records confirm exceptionally light, weekend-only use, with the car always flat-bed towed to and from the workshop—a testament to the owner's dedication. With just 6,727 miles on the clock and over HKD 96,000 invested in maintenance since 2022, this is a fully sorted, turnkey example of one of the most engaging modern sports cars.


EXTERIOR & INTERIOR: PURPOSE MEETS PRESTIGE


Finished in Thunder Grey Matt—a rare and striking factory special colour—this A110 S presents in exceptional condition. The matte finish, a £4,400 option when new, lends the car a stealthy, purposeful appearance that perfectly complements its focused character. The only noted imperfections are a small aluminium rash on the left rear wheel arch and a slightly scratched front left wheel; otherwise, the car is accident-free and presents as nearly new.


The cabin is trimmed in black Dinamica (Alcantara-like) with tasteful carbon-fibre accents and contrasting orange stitching—a combination that feels both sporty and premium. Sparingly used, the interior remains in virtually new condition throughout. The original manual pack and toolkit accompany the vehicle.


MECHANICAL & MAINTENANCE: MUSEUM-LEVEL CARE


This A110 S has been maintained with an unwavering commitment to preservation. The service records, all in kilometres, begin in September 2022 at 4,266 km and continue through to May 2026 at 10,635 km—a total of just over 6,300 km in nearly four years, confirming exceptionally light, weekend-only use.


The owner has spared no expense, with the car always being flat-bed towed to and from the workshop (the owner resides at The Peak), and every service includes high-quality Motul 300V racing oil.

THE CLASSIC INSIDER ASSESSMENT: 94/100

We quantify condition where others merely describe. A score of 94 reflects a well-presented, lightly used, and meticulously maintained example with full service history and exceptional provenance.


Exterior (90/100): Thunder Grey Matt paint presents superbly. The only noted imperfections are minor: a small aluminium rash on the left rear wheel arch and a slightly scratched front left wheel. The car is accident-free and presents as nearly new.
