The Alpine A108 is a light-weight glass-fibre bodied, rear-engined two-door coupé produced for a young competition-oriented Dieppe based Renault dealer called Jean Rédélé.
The 108 was launched at the Paris Motor Show in autumn 1957, but production volumes were low and the company’s principal offering continued to be the older 106 model until 1960.
These models, like the original coupé, were assembled by Chappe et Gessalin, but with a wheelbase lengthened by 7 cm (2.8 in).
The 108 played an important part in the transformation of Alpine into a mainstream (though always low volume) car producer.
Renamed as Willys Interlagos, the model was built in three versions: berlinette, coupé, and convertible.
