    I seem to remember that one of us in the 206/246 Forum also has (or did have) an A110b. If so, please post about it and how it compares to a Dino or a Porsche. Photos would be great too, alongside your Dino!

    Looks great! The wheels look like the Gotti wheels that Corbani had on his Dino for many years. Are those the 3 bolt or 4 bolt wheels on the Alpine?

    Also, is that a 1300cc or a 1600? Or possibly an 1800? Also what year?

    I think there was at one other owner here who had an A110b....

    Marc Mignotet (1910-2006) was a very good engine builder. He worked for Alpine mainly on rally engines.
    The 1800 is very rough. Compared to this lightweight Alpine, the Dino is a truck.

    I know about Mignotet I almost bought an Alpine that had an 1800, but in the end I thought it had been too modified for rallying and I wanted something that was more streetable/more stock for my purposes.

    If you are referring to your friend's Alpine as rough, the one I was considering was much rougher than what your friend's appears to be.

    I would love to find a 1600 in classic blue with the 3 bolt wheels and swing axles.
