As his experience with the little 4CV built up, he incorporated many modifications, including for example, special 5-speed gearboxes replacing the main 3-speed unit. To provide a lighter weight car he built numerous special versions with light and portable aluminium bodies: he drove in these kind of at Le Mans along with Sebring with some success inside early 1950s.Encouraged by the development these cars and consequent customer demand, he founded the Société Anonyme des Cars Alpine in 1954.

It used the platform chassis on the original Renault 4CV. The A106 achieved quite a few successes through the 1950s and was joined by way of low and stylish cabriolet. Styling for this car was contracted for the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. Under the glassfibre body was an exceptionally stiff chassis based with a central tubular backbone which was to be the hallmark off Alpines built.Alpine then took the Michelotti cabriolet design along with developed a 2+2 closed coupe body for it: this became the Alpine A108, now featuring the Dauphine Gordini 845 cc engine, which on later types was bored out to supply a capacity of 904 cc or) 998 closed circuit. The A108 was created between 1958 and 1963In 1962, the A108 began for being produced also in Brazil, by Willys-Overland. It was the Willys Interlagos (berlineta, coupé and convertible).Willys Interlagos Berlineta, the Brazilian A108By now the car's mechanicals were beginning to show their age in Europe. Alpine was already doing work closely with Renault when the Renault R8 saloon had been introduced in 1962. Alpine redeveloped their chassis and made many minor body changes to allow the application of R8 mechanicals.This new car had been the A110 Berlinette Expedition de France, named after a successful run using the Alpine A108 in the 1962 event. Starting with a 956 closed circuit engine of 51 bhp (38 kW), the same chassis in addition to body developed with relatively minor changes over time to the stage wherever, by 1974, the little car was handling 1800 cc machines developing 180 bhp (134 kW)+.

From a total Alpine generation of 1421 in 1972, the numbers of cars sold dropped to 957 in 1974 plus the company was bailed out via a takeover by Renault. Alpine's problems had recently been compounded by the need to enable them to develop a replacement for that A110 and launch the automobile just when European petrol prices leapt through the roof.Through the 1970s, Alpine continued to plan the A110, and later the Alpine A310 substitute car. However, to compete with Alpine's good results, other manufacturers developed progressively more special cars, notably the Lancia Stratos that was based closely on this A110's size and rear-engined principle, though incorporating a Ferrari powerplant. Alpine's own cars, still based on the particular 1962 design and having a surprising number of generation parts, became increasingly uncompetitive. In 1974 Alpine built a few factory racing Renault 18 Gordinis (one driven by Jean-Luc Thérier) which won the Press upon Regardless World Rally World-class round in Michigan, USA.
