In the late 1960s, the founder of Alpine understood that the berlinette’s commercial success would require him to draw the curtain on the workshop on Avenue Pasteur in Dieppe, where he and his employees came to work every day. The cramped space could not be expanded, his neighbouring Renault dealership was filled with a backlog of body shells, and the ill-equipped space made for difficult working conditions. The only choice left was to move.
