About the Alpine A110 #3 B. Darniche / A. Mahe Tour de Corse 1973 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Alpine A110 recreates car #3 from the 1973 Tour de Corse, driven by B. Darniche and A. Mahe. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting of the lightweight fastback's curved shape. One of rallying's genuine giant-killers.

The Alpine A110's lightweight fibreglass body and rear-mounted engine made it dominant on the twisting tarmac of the Tour de Corse, a rally so associated with the marque that this Corsican event became almost an Alpine home fixture through the early 1970s.

Casting the A110's Curved Fastback Shape

This model is built as a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy shell, and the die-cast process suits the A110's rounded, curved fastback surfacing better than the boxier saloons and rally coupes of the same era. The tapering rear roofline, the subtly bulging wheel arches and the compact overall footprint all come through with reasonable roundness for a metal casting, and because the body is sealed, the exterior carries every bit of the model's fidelity: crisp scribed panel lines, auxiliary lamps mounted correctly across the front grille, and the Darniche and Mahe livery applied with clean registration against the base colour. The A110's diminutive size compared with saloon-based rivals like the Peugeot 504 gives this model a genuinely different scale presence, closer in footprint to a modern hot hatch than a full-size rally saloon.

A Tarmac Rally Icon on the Shelf

This Alpine sits naturally within a 1970s WRC Classic theme, and its association with tarmac events like the Tour de Corse offers a useful contrast against forest-stage subjects like the Escort or Metro 6R4 from the same broader era. At 1:18 the A110's compact dimensions mean it takes up noticeably less shelf space than saloon-based rivals, letting several examples sit together without crowding a display. Diecast models of this subject remain accessible in price, and the A110's genuine competitiveness against much larger factory teams gives it real motorsport substance beyond its compact, almost delicate appearance.
