Embark on a heartfelt journey with "You Only Live Once", a moving short film that uncovers a cherished bond between a father and daughter, united by their shared love for French automotive engineering and Renault Alpine. In this case a 1973 Alpine A110 v85 1300. This isn't just a story about a car; it's a tribute to the importance of family, memories, and legacy.
Listen to tender recollections of school runs that were more than just a commute; they were moments of joy, a symphony of engine roars, and the scent of adrenaline.
In a twist of fate, after the loss of the narrator's father, an Alpine A110 surfaces at an auction, presenting an opportunity to rekindle those treasured memories. It's a poignant reminder of the film's message: seize the moment because "You Only Live Once".
This film is a testament to the Alpine A110's enduring allure, a car that's more than a collection of metal and parts, but a feeling that transcends time. It's a nostalgic ride that's sure to resonate with car aficionados and story lovers alike. Join us for an unforgettable drive down memory lane, where every turn is a story and every drive feels like coming home.
