TRF824 Alpine A110 1300 GT – G. Larrousse / M. Callewaert R.Monte Carlo 1968

The 1968 edition of the Monte Carlo rally, was the first rally of the works Alpine Renault Team and, with this amazing berlinette (the way how French fans like to call the A110), they did not won the rally just because of some hooligans that shovelled snow onto the Col de Turini stage.

At that time, all crews have to tackle the 930 mile common route and, for the purpose they had to be prepared for the unexpected, namely with extra spare wheels. However it did not fit into the Alpine’s interior, so they had to be roof-mounted. This is the kind of detail that we could not miss and will help collectors to show how different was rallying in the sixties.
