About the Alpine A310 Blue IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Alpine A310 in Blue is a sealed one-piece casting of the wedge-shaped 1970s French coupe, with detail carried entirely on the exterior. This is a new model in new packaging. A distinctive Alpine shape for a French sports car or 1970s themed display.

The A310 followed the A110 with a completely different silhouette, low and wedged rather than curved, and IXO's diecast holds that shape as a single sealed casting rather than an articulated model.

IXO's Sealed-Body Diecast Approach to the Alpine A310

This casting has no opening doors, bonnet or boot, and that's a deliberate choice rather than a shortfall. With the panels fixed, the whole body reads as one continuous form, the roofline running into the rear deck without a break, and the door lines scribed into the metal as clean, unbroken grooves rather than gapped seams that would need hinges to close evenly. A sealed shell like this is common practice at this scale and price, letting the tooling hold tighter, more consistent lines than an articulated body could manage at the same cost. Judge this casting on its stance, its glazing fit and how cleanly the paint sits over the wedge-shaped nose, since that's where all of the model's craft is spent.

Alpine's Wedge-Shaped Successor to the A110

Where the A110 built its reputation on rally stages, the A310 arrived in the early 1970s as a road-focused successor with a fibreglass body over a steel backbone chassis and a distinctive multi-headlamp nose that set it apart from anything else on French roads at the time. It never chased the A110's competition record in the same way, but its shape has aged into a cult subject among enthusiasts of French sports cars precisely because it looked like nothing else. That distinctiveness is what makes a sealed diecast of it work: the shape alone carries the appeal.

Where a Sealed A310 Fits a Collection

Arriving new and in new packaging, this model is ready straight onto a shelf. Placed among 1970s European coupes it stands out for that low, wedged nose, and because there's nothing to open or adjust, it sits securely on a shelf without panels working loose over time. For a collector building a French marque theme or a 1970s sports car run, it's a distinctive, low-maintenance addition.
