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

TL;DR: This Otto Models Alpine A106 1:18 reproduces the #166 Jacques family entry from the 1960 Rally Monte Carlo, cast in resin as a sealed one-piece body. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage. A significant early Alpine competition subject for a vintage rally shelf.

Long before the A110 made Alpine a rallying household name, the A106 laid the groundwork, and this resin casting reproduces that earlier, less-celebrated chapter directly.

Resin Casting an Early Alpine Rally Subject

The A106's rounded, fastback shape, closely related to the Renault 4CV underneath its bespoke body, needs careful surfacing to read correctly, and resin's precision on compound curves handles that faithfully. Built as a sealed, one-piece body, the model's continuous roofline and rear haunches carry no gaps, and the period rally livery, including the #166 door number and Monte Carlo entry markings, is registered cleanly against the bodywork. Under direct light the paint holds an even gloss, and the modest chrome trim and headlamp surrounds typical of the era are picked out with enough definition to distinguish the A106 clearly from its Renault mechanical donor.

The A106's Place Before Alpine's A110 Fame

Alpine's A106, built through the 1950s on Renault 4CV mechanicals, represented the marque's earliest attempts at lightweight, rally-capable sports cars, well before the A110 would deliver Alpine's most famous competition results. The 1960 Rally Monte Carlo entry this model reproduces sits at the very start of that competition story, making it a genuinely foundational subject for anyone tracing Alpine's motorsport history from its earliest roots.

Collecting This Early Alpine

This model is used, and its box shows traces of storage typical of a collectible kept on a shelf, with the casting itself remaining sound. Displayed alongside a later A110, the A106 shows how directly Alpine's competition identity traces back to this smaller, lesser-known predecessor, giving a rally-themed collection genuine historical depth.
