This is a unique opportunity for collectors who are keen on motorsport history. We are delighted to offer this Alpine A110 1600 SC, which was acquired by Jean-Pierre Jabouille in the 1980s and is now being sold by his son Victor. As a legendary French driver, Jean-Pierre Jabouille (known for his technical excellence and performance on the track) got his career started in national and European races. He joined Renault and became a key player in the development of the turbo engine in Formula 1 and endurance racing, revolutionising the sport. Jabouille remains famous for his historic victory at the French Grand Prix in 1979, as well as his victory at the Austrian Grand Prix in 1980, placing his name among one of very few French drivers to triumph in F1 at that time. It seemed logical that the French driver who triumphed in a Renault would acquire a rally legend, the iconic A110 in its most advanced version, the 1600 SC. The car was sent to his friend Pierre Ferry for a full restoration in 2010, including a complete engine rebuilt. It has been serviced regularly. The car is now in superb condition, both mechanically and aesthetically. This particular Berlinette example truly embodies the spirit and passion of a racing driver who had a significant impact on the history of French motorsport.
