Real Model – Alpine A110 1800 S n° 18 – Monte Carlo Rally 1973

The Alpine A110 1800 S is a lightweight, rear-engined *berlinette*—a rally icon of the 1960s and 70s—powered here by a tuned 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and campaigned by Alpine-Renault in the World Rally Championship. In 1973, A110s dominated the top spots at the Monte Carlo Rally, making history by sweeping the podium at this legendary event.

Car No. 18, driven by Jean-Claude Andruet and "Biche" (Micheline Petit), won the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally, helping Alpine-Renault secure the World Constructors' Championship title during that inaugural WRC season. This victorious A110 has become one of the most famous rally *berlinettes* of all time.

Miniature – Alpine A110 1800 S n° 18 Winner Monte Carlo Rally 1973 1/43 Ixo (SPRM001-73)

This 1:43 scale Ixo model of the Alpine A110 1800 S (No. 18, Monte Carlo 1973) faithfully captures the *berlinette's* lightweight silhouette: a sloping hood, compact cockpit, sculpted fenders, and a short rear end with the engine mounted in the rear overhang. The Alpine-Renault livery (blue paint, sponsor graphics, and race number 18) is accurately reproduced, complete with rally plates, auxiliary driving lights, and period-correct markings. The set includes a figure (driver/co-driver) to be placed next to the car, enhancing the diorama feel and the recreation of the 1973 Monte Carlo victory. As is typical for Ixo, the bodywork is fixed, and the details—such as the wheels, tires, lights, and logos—are finely crafted for this scale.
