Presented just a few days after the Jean Rédélé version, the limited edition A110 Tour de Corse 75 was also sold out very quickly. A godsend for a professional seller, who is trying to offer one of the 150 copies at a much higher price than the new price: €118,000!
The limited series of sports models have often been the subject of speculation. A phenomenon that manufacturers like Porsche or Ferrari have tried to counter by scrupulously selecting buyers. For its last GT, Ford had even signed a clause prohibiting any resale of its supercar for two years. But Alpine does not appear to have such a mechanism in place, and the professional seller JEB Legend rushed into the breach. A few days ago, he had already made a name for himself by offering a copy of the recent A110 Jean Rédélé at €100,000, i.e. €17,000 more than the new price. Today, he goes one better by offering on Leboncoin another limited series of the berlinetta, the A110 Tour de Corse 75, at an even more dissuasive price: €118,000!
A little less rare than the Jean Rédélé
However, this yellow and black version, born to celebrate the second place of an A110 in the Tour de Corse 1975, was intended to be both less rare and a little less expensive than the gray variant with a black roof, which paid tribute to the centenary of the birth of the creator of the Alpine brand. We went from 100 copies sold for €83,000 to 150 units available for €80,000. Contrary to what the announcement indicates, the production did not take 25 seconds to be attributed. It took just over 30 minutes, instead of 34 seconds for the Jean Rédélé. The enthusiasm therefore seems a little less strong for this Tour de Corse, which came out barely a fortnight after its predecessor, and the game is not won in advance for JEB Legend.

An export sale for €98,500 excluding tax
The seller nevertheless seems comforted by the success of his ad for the A110 Jean Rédélé, which apparently has already found a buyer. “ Congratulations to our client », he also says in the preamble. To put the odds on his side, he also offers an export purchase for €98,500 excluding VAT, with recoverable VAT. As for the delivery, expected for the end of November, it would be possible anywhere in the world. Will this be enough to swallow the copious added value requested for this copy of the A110 Tour de Corse 75, while this limited edition retains the same technical characteristics as a classic A110S? Only time will tell, but the professional invites “curious or givers of lessons” refrain from contacting him.
