About the Alpine A106 #166 F. Jacques / R. Jacques Rally Monte Carlo 1960 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Alpine A106 reproduces F. and R. Jacques's #166 entry in the 1960 Rally Monte Carlo, cast as a sealed one-piece body. This used example carries a box with traces of storage, the model itself unaffected. A genuinely early Alpine competition subject, predating the A110 that later made the marque famous.

Before the A110 became Alpine's defining shape, the A106 laid the groundwork, a small, Renault-based coupe that gave the fledgling French marque its first taste of rally competition.

Otto's Resin Casting on the Early A106

Resin handles the A106's small, rounded 1950s-influenced bodywork with genuine precision, and the sealed one-piece body suits a subject whose original fiberglass shell was itself a simple, lightweight structure over a Renault 4CV-derived chassis. The livery and race-number graphics sit cleanly registered against the body, and the compact, high-roofed proportions typical of Alpine's earliest cars are rendered accurately rather than smoothed toward the later A110's lower, sleeker profile. This example is a used model, and its box shows the ordinary traces of storage from years on a shelf, though the casting itself remains unaffected by that history.

The A106's Role in Alpine's Founding Years

Jean Redele founded Alpine in the mid-1950s, and the A106 was among the marque's first products, built using Renault's 4CV mechanical components wrapped in a lightweight fiberglass body to keep weight low for competition. The Jacques entry at the 1960 Rally Monte Carlo represents Alpine still establishing itself as a serious competitor rather than the rally-winning force it would become by the following decade, making this a genuinely foundational subject for anyone tracing the marque's full history rather than just its famous A110 era.

Placing the A106 in an Early Alpine Collection

This model belongs at the very start of an Alpine chronology, ahead of the A108 and A110 that followed, offering genuine rarity value for collectors who already own the marque's more common later subjects.
