Elf Scan 2: Alpine A210 Protoype

This week's Elf scan depicts the Alpine A210 prototype racer at speed.  Frequent Automobiliac readers may recall my review of Veloce Publishing's excellent book that covers these cars in depth.  The A210 was a stalwart design for Alpine, consisting of a lightweight Chapman-derived space frame beneath aerodynamic fiberglass bodywork. The car proved to be both fast and reliable over a long lifespan, acheiving numerous successes in the small displacement classes at Le Mans as well as occasional upsets of more powerful cars on more technical circuits. Below is a very nice line drawing of the A210 from the back of the info card.
