Restauration d'une Alpine A110 V85 |
Daniel Raffin, FARNaute, est passionné depuis longtemps par Alpine. C'est à Dieppe, pour les 50 ans que je l'ai rencontré. Il nous avait alors présenté des photos de son Alpine A110 V85. Une auto splendide. C'est aujourd'hui, à travers un dossier complet illustré de 180 photos, que nous vous proposons de suivre les étapes de restauration. |

Page 2 of 2 Production:
A real Meccano game ! Indeed, this car is build without any machine or robot but by very skilled technicians of Alpine factory at Dieppe. Spider is build as Alpine Berlinette fourty years ago. Renault Sport uses here totally this skilled team. Proof with 12 pics for 90 hours of work:
Production:Like Alpine A110, perharps because Spider is made at Dieppe, several production numbers are known. An easy readikng of official Renault documentation, we can announce the true numbers.
But no precisions about the repartition between the aeroscreen and the windscreen models. yyy models are more common.
Around 80 Spider Trophy are been produced. Identification :A little panel is screwed on the chassis, behind the right seat, on the right side. It indicates the date of production, the chassis number and the color code. Codes Couleur :Spider haas been painted in just 4 differents colors. Yellow, blue, red, and grey are official Renault Sport colors. Titan Grey has been choose at the end of the production. Coulors numbers are :
Options :Few options for this very exclusive sport car. But we find :
Compétition :Sure, Spider Trophy was a natural evolution of the Renault tradition created several years before with Alpine GTA, Renault 5 Turbo and Renault 21 Turbo. In Europe, Spider Trophy was often organized the Formula 1 Championship weekends. Powered the a 180bhp version of the Clio Williams engine, Spider was equiped with a 6-speed, non synchro gearbox from Sadev, a cage side bar, specific brakes with 2 independant master cylinders and OZ wheels. The french driver, Frank Lagorce won the first Spider Trophy championship, in 1996, the sweden Tommy Rustad won the second in 1997. Evolutions :With a very strong and well designed concept, Spider supports many evolutions. Many people consider Spider is very heavy when we compared it to a Lotus Elise. But they forget to say Spider chassis can support others engines with 550 bhp ! RJ Racing, Fior et Nogaro Technologies have used this superbe chassis for many evolutions.
In 1997, RJ Racing with Renault developped Helem. 6 cars an 1 road prototype for homologation by Matra, have been build. The race car weighs only 950 Kg, was powered by the same engine with 550 bhp. Renault stopped the project one year later. This car has viewed in Britany GT Championship, then in BPR Campionship in France.
In 1999, Nogaro-Technologies developped Spider F99. 30 cars was mmade and sent to Zuaï Circuit in China, 6 others cars were sold in France, with 2 stay at Nogaro. Aerodynamics is very worked, body used a fiber set, the gearbox-engine set comes from Spider Trophy, and provides 180bhp, the weight is under 650Kg. In 1999 too, RJ Racing disappears, Helem cars too...
In 2000, Nogaro-Technologies bought Helem mark by Fior, and recovered many specific tools. Then in 2001, Nogaro-Technologies built, from the Spider F99 chassis, a new Helem prototype for French GT Championship (Muratet V6 3.0 litres engine, 280 bhp, sequential 5 gearbox). We have to thank Nogaro Technologies and Bruno Tourmen for all these informations. |
