About the Alpine A110 #3 B. Darniche / A. Mahe Tour de Corse 1973 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Alpine A110 recreates the #3 B. Darniche / A. Mahe entry from the 1973 Tour de Corse. The zinc alloy body is sealed with no opening panels, holding the A110's compact fastback shape as one continuous casting. A cornerstone French rally piece for a WRC Classic shelf.

The Alpine A110 remains one of rallying's most recognizable early shapes, and this Tour de Corse livery places it on the mountain roads of Corsica, the event where the A110 built much of its legend.

Diecast Rendering of the A110's Curved Fastback

The A110's rounded fastback and bulging fenders present a more sculptural challenge than the flat panels of a rally sedan, and zinc alloy diecast handles that curvature with sharp, well-defined edges while giving the model genuine weight. Because the body is sealed with no opening parts, the A110's compact, flowing silhouette sits fixed with continuous shut lines running cleanly along the hood and doors. The livery, with its numbered doors and period decals, sits directly on that unbroken surface, and the model's cast-in headlight surrounds and vents reproduce the rally-spec detailing without separate fitted trim.

Alpine's Home-Turf Dominance

The Tour de Corse, run through Corsica's twisting mountain roads, became a stronghold for French manufacturers, and Alpine's lightweight, rear-engined A110 was particularly well-suited to the event's tight, technical stages. Bernard Darniche built a strong reputation on exactly this kind of terrain, and his #3 entry with co-driver Alain Mahe documents a competitive Alpine effort during the marque's peak rallying years.

A Foundational Rally Piece

This A110 works as a cornerstone for a broader 1970s European rally collection, particularly alongside other French and Italian entries from the same World Rally Championship-era grids.
