Rare Alpine A610: family history and lost documents
According to the lot description, the car was purchased in 1993, and it has remained in the same family since then. The family explains that before the sale, the dealer registered the coupe and kept it for a year.
The service book and early invoices were lost during a flood in 2021. At the same time, the car comes with expert appraisals from 2003 and 2022, which the auction house cites to confirm the ownership history.
