When Speedhunters turns its lens to a 1974 Alpine A110 1300G in Japan, it is bound to capture the attention of enthusiasts. On the legendary roads of Hakone, a group of Japanese friends brings this rare French berlinette to life, enhanced by a Group 4 kit and set against a backdrop that has become iconic in automotive culture. A fascinating meeting point between Alpine heritage and Japanese passion.

Hakone, a mythical playground for driving enthusiasts

Located southwest of Tokyo, the Hakone region has become a true sanctuary for driving enthusiasts. Its winding mountain roads, stunning views and unique atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for car lovers. Seeing a classic Alpine A110 1300G evolve in this environment only enhances its aura, blending Japanese car culture with a timeless European icon.

The Alpine A110 1300G, a berlinette with a unique character

Produced in the 1970s, the Alpine A110 1300G perfectly embodies the berlinette philosophy: lightness, agility and efficiency. With its rear-mounted engine and sharp chassis, it proved itself both on the road and in competition. The addition of a Group 4 kit further enhances its character, directly echoing the rally versions and reinforcing its more aggressive look.

This type of period-correct preparation continues to appeal to purists and collectors alike, who are looking for an Alpine that is both authentic and visually striking.

A strong Alpine passion in Japan

Although Alpine is deeply rooted in French automotive history, the brand also enjoys strong international recognition. In Japan, some enthusiasts have a deep appreciation for classic European sports cars, and the A110 is no exception.

This Speedhunters photo story perfectly illustrates that fascination: a carefully maintained Alpine, driven on the road and embedded in a rich local car culture that respects automotive heritage. Further proof that the berlinette transcends borders and continues to captivate enthusiasts far beyond Europe.
