Introduction

Dom Ginn
Professional Consigner

Elegant, lightweight, and brilliantly rewarding; the Alpine A110 Pure is a modern classic in the making.

Reviving one of the most celebrated names in motorsport history, the A110 Pure is a true sports car, providing lightweight construction, balance, and superb driver involvement. Drawing inspiration from the legendary original A110, Alpine resisted the modern trend of ever-increasing power and complexity, instead creating a car that prioritises agility, precision, and real-world usability.

Powered by a mid-mounted 1.8-litre turbocharged engine, the A110 Pure delivers impressive performance while remaining remarkably light at just over 1,100kg. Its aluminium chassis and bodywork contribute to exceptional handling characteristics, offering a driving experience that feels both engaging and accessible.

Coming to market from almost two and a half years with our vendor, this Alpine benefits from a Litchfield tuning upgrade taking it to ~300BHP; perfectly complementing the rapid-shifting, dual-clutch gearbox. Normal, Sport, and Track driving modes offer flexibility on demand, while uprated Bilstein and Eibach suspension / springs and a lowered ride height give the car a purposeful stance and sharp, well-sorted feel. Brake pads were replaced in January 2026.

As the most focused A110 variant, the Pure prioritises lightness and driver engagement. Praised for its balance, comfort and distinctive character, it offers a refreshing alternative to the current crop of over-sized sports cars.

For those seeking something beyond the ordinary, the Alpine delivers individuality, rarity, and world-class driving dynamics in equal measure.

This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Sandeep the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

Its individuality and driver-focused nature offered me a refreshing alternative to more conventional sports cars.

We met with the current owner, Sandeep, who told us more about his A110 Pure and his experience with it. "I love the handling of it, all combined with its brilliant power. The ability to switch between, Normal, Sport and on occasion Track mode, offers amazing driving flexibility, makes driving all so sublime and easy. It can take a surprising amount of luggage for long weekends trip or further afield, and on a motorway run, for me, it delivers excellent fuel economy".

Sandeep says, "The Alpine was a car I'd admired ever since it was launched. I've always liked cars that do things a little differently, and the A110's focus on lightness and driver involvement really appealed to me. Owning one has been every bit as enjoyable as I'd hoped".

Describing the A110 Pure as a genuinely special sports car, Sandeep says, "It's incredibly rewarding to drive, whether you're out on your favourite road or just enjoying a weekend trip. The balance, steering and ride quality are all fantastic, and it always feels like an experience to get behind the wheel."

Having thoroughly enjoyed his time with the car, Sandeep now feels it is time for something different. "I'll certainly miss it, but I intend to replace it with a GR Corolla - probably an import from Japan that has an Auto/DAT gearbox. I’ve owned a huge variety of very different cars over 4 decades, and this Alpine A110 with its extra power, lightness and agility, has been one of the most rewarding to drive and own, most definitely up there in the list of my top 3! Each car I have owned has taught me about itself and how to hone my driving skills, so it's time to move onto the next one!"

Sandeep would be happy to answer any questions about the car in the comments section.

Exterior

Purposeful and unmistakably Alpine, the A110 Pure's design perfectly blends elegant styling with modern sports car presence.

Wheels and Tyres

The upgraded 18” Alpine Legend alloy wheels - featuring a black and diamond cut finish - all appear to be in in excellent condition. These were upgraded by the previous owner, and have been previously refurbished.

The front of the A110 is fitted with Michelin tyres with date codes from 2019 and a spec of 205/40. To the rear, the car is on 235/40 Michelins, date coded from 2024.

Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition. Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.

image

Bodywork

We noted no concerns with panel alignment, with the body appearing straight and panel gaps even across the car. Both doors and front and rear boot spaces opened and closed well, matching our expectations of the car.

Having covered relatively low mileage, there were no real issues that stood out to us. Overall, well presented and well set for many more miles ahead.

We've highlighted our observations in more detail through our hi-resolution images and videos, so please take the time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer and to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

image

Paint

The white paintwork looks to be in brilliant shape and we had no concerns from looking around the car. There was an even colour match and finish across all of the exterior surfaces.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there yourself. Please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car to form your own opinion about the condition of the paint.

image

Glass and Trim

The front and rear screens and side windows displayed really well and without concern. Front and rear lights and lenses all appear in very good condition.

We didn't note any issues on the rubber seals, whose condition was in-line with the rest of the car.

Complementing the design are Alpine's signature badges, including the blue, white, and red 'Tricolore' proudly displayed on the C-pillars and interior door cards.

We've taken you around the car in greater detail in our exterior review video, please take the time to look over the video and see how the glass and trim look from different perspectives.

image

Interior

Minimalist, focused, and beautifully crafted, the A110's cabin places the driver at the heart of the experience. And it is an experience!

Seats and Carpets

High-quality materials and thoughtful detailing give the interior a distinctly premium feel.

The Alpine bucket seats are finished in black leather with blue stitch detailing. Additional detail such as the diamond stitch side padding add an extra touch of class. The seats presented very well, showing minimal signs of wear - and the were comfortable out on the road.

Looking over the carpets, the mats were in great condition; and underneath these, the base carpet raised no concerns. The main rear boot and compact front space areas were clean, tidy, and showed no issues.

The headlining showed no concerns, and the cabin displayed only light signs of use. The door cards were in very smart shape.

We've captured high-resolution photos and a full interior video tour through the car. This covers off the angles inside the car for you to review and appreciate the condition of what's on offer here in our interior review section.

image

Dashboard

The black dashboard and centre console showed no issues. The interior benefits from contrasting blue Alpine stitching on the dashboard and door panels.

The digital screens looked excellent and were all functioning as expected. The odometer showed ~31,205 miles at the time of our visit.

The dials, switches, and controls all appear to be in brilliant condition, with surfaces free from fogging or scratching.

Our interior gallery section takes you over some closer images of the A110's dashboard: head over and see the car's cabin space in finer detail.

image

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The smart and modern steering wheel is in great condition and features Life110 upgraded paddle shifters on the steering column.

A great highlight to the drivers section was the integrated race-inspired red sport button. This provides drive option modes for Normal / Sport / Track.

We've captured high-resolution photos for you to review and check over the condition of the interior in our gallery section.

Mechanics

Compact, punchy, and beautifully matched to the chassis, the Alpine's turbocharged engine delivers performance with real character.

Engine and Gearbox

The Alpine started on the button and performed exactly as it should during our visit. Particularly impressive was the shift between drive options, adding increased levels of engine aggression and performance from sport to track modes.

Enhanced with a Litchfield tuning upgrade, the turbocharged 1.8-litre engine delivers ~300BHP, allowing the lightweight A110 to deliver exhilarating performance with remarkable ease. The Alpine also has Life110 Blue Intercooler hoses fitted.

During our drive, the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission operated smoothly through the gears, with the paddle shifters providing additional control when desired.

Sandeep provides more detail about the gearing, "The gear changes are very slick thanks to the gearbox software upgrade, and the more ergonomically friendly and larger "Life110" paddles help you get the best out of manual changes in sport and track mode".

On the drive, we got an overview of the balance, responsiveness, and engaging character of the Alpine, as well as Sandeep's perspective on how it performs.

Take a look over the review video to hear the car start up from cold and driving out on the road.

image

Suspension and Brakes

We noted no knocks, bangs, or other issues from the suspension when we were on the road, and its performance and handling gave us no cause for concern. Similarly, our look over the underside of the car raised no issues.

Sandeep adds some extra insight on the ride feel. "The car sits slightly lower on its lowered and tuned suspension, so you feel you are really connected to the road."

The blue Alpine brakes exhibited no pull or vibrations that stood out to us on the journey: they brought the car to a stop without a problem, and quickly. The car performed as to be expected, with no concerns noted.

Please take a look over the mechanical videos and photographs to see close-up images from under the car.

image

The Drive

The Alpine A110 Pure offers a refreshingly different driving experience, relying on lightweight construction, a mid-engined layout, and superb chassis balance rather than outright power.

Sharp steering, a responsive dual-clutch gearbox, and excellent ride quality make it equally enjoyable on a twisting B-road or a long-distance journey.

Sandeep tells us more about his experience with the car, "Man and machine as one is how I would describe it. The seats are awesome, as is the driving position. The compactness and driver-focused design means the car shrinks around you as you press on. The steering is light and responsive, but gives plenty of clear feedback, making you feel really connected with the road".

Blending everyday usability with genuine driver involvement, the A110 embodies Alpine's philosophy of balance over brute force.

image

Electrics and Other

Through our time with the vehicle we noted that all switches, dials, and gauges appear undamaged and are in great condition.

Being a more modern car, the Alpine is well equipped. Features include:
- 7-inch touchscreen multimedia and navigation system with DAB radio
- Start/Stop function
- Digital dashboard display
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Dual USB ports
- GPS navigation

Accompanying the car are its original books and documentation, as well as its two leather-wrapped keycards.

We weren't able to fully test all of the functions when visiting the car, although Sandeep told us everything was in working order as far as he was aware.

History and Paperwork

Reviving a legendary name, the Alpine A110 Pure brings the spirit of the iconic original firmly into the modern era.

Servicing was completed in January 2026, at which point the front and rear brake pads and brake fluid were replaced, the handbrake adjusted, and an oil & filter change completed.

Previous servicing was carried out in January 2025, where the cabin filter, oil filter, and engine oil were replaced at a cost of ~£490. In June 2023, the suspension was upgraded with Life110 Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs, along with updates to the geometry settings. This cost over £1,125.

Gearbox oil and air filters were replaced in July 2022. The wheels were changed in April 2019, to the upgraded Alpine Legend versions. The A110 is complete with its drivers folio and 2 sets of keycards.

For a closer look at the Alpine's history, please refer to the servicing records, invoices, and MOT certificates included within the History and Paperwork gallery.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPI that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price a seller is willing to accept for their vehicle. We work closely with sellers to set realistic reserves that reflect current market values — we don’t take on vehicles with inflated or unrealistic expectations.

    If the reserve isn’t met when the auction ends, we’ll work with the highest bidder to try and agree a deal with the seller.

    Whether the reserve has been met may / may not be disclosed during the auction — just like a traditional auction house. Bidders usually find out if they’ve won only when the auction ends.

    As a guide:
    – If you’re able to place a second bid, the reserve hasn’t been met.
    – If you attempt to outbid yourself and the system blocks it, then the reserve has been met.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.

    Network Connection – your device may lose connection and you’re not able to bid, or see the latest bidding history.
