Overview of the Alpine Renault A110 1971 by Tamiya

The Tamiya 1/24 Alpine Renault A110 Monte-Carlo 1971 model captures the spirit of the classic rally car in a well-balanced miniature. The kit reflects the A110's nimble profile and rally heritage, giving model makers a chance to recreate a notable piece of motorsport history.

Why the A110 Made Its Mark

Jean Rédélé's design improved on the Renault 4CV platform, using an FRP body to cut weight and boost agility. The rear-mounted 956cc 4-cylinder and tuned suspension helped the A110 dominate many hillclimbs and rallies, with the 1971 Monte Carlo victory highlighting its competitive pedigree.

What Builders Can Expect Inside the Box

The kit includes accurately shaped body panels, interior components and an engine assembly that reflect the original car's architecture. At a finished length of 161mm, this model balances detail and display size while offering authentic decals for the 1971 Monte Carlo scheme.
