Alpine A310 in America. The American Alpine A310 Club was formed in 1995 to assist A310 owners in maintaining their cars. It's based in USA. There are 21 cars in the club. Most of the cars are A310-V6, but we also have two GTA's and a 1974 Alpine A310-4 in the club. Most of our cars are in original condition, but some have been modified. You can see our cars on city streets, on race tracks, or at car shows. We American Alpine owners appreciate our Alpines Renault never sold Alpine in the United States. The cars that are here were imported by Centennial Motors of Boulder, Colorado, or by Mario's Motors of Houston, Texas. However, a few of our cars were brought into the United States by their owners. The president of the club is Brad Stevens (4652 Maiden Lane, Canandaigua, New York 14452, email : bahnzai@hotmail.com).!
