Preview (beginning of the article)

There was a festive atmosphere at the Alpine factory on the industrial site in Dieppe in July 1977. It was a very special day. The last Alpine Berlinette rolled off the production line to cries of joy. The last car produced was reserved for Jacques Limondin, an enthusiastic member of the workforce. This last Alpine was painted green, not blue like the vast majority of these small Berlinettes, which had helped the Alpine name to achieve a very special fame.This was the end of a glorious era whose beginnings went back a long way. It began in the same town where a young man fell in love with cars after graduating from business school. Born and raised in Dieppe, Jean Rédélé was already dreaming of future successes in his father's workshop. In 1946, a new small car was presented that was to become a talking point: the Renault 4 CV. Jean had just taken over the Renault agency for Dieppe from his father, who himself had once been a racing mechanic at Szisz. It is therefore obvious that Jean took his first steps in racing with the 4 CV, the "flea" as it was called at the time.
