Alpine was founded by Jean Rédélé in Dieppe in 1955 and is part of Renault Group. Its history spans vehicles such as the A310, GTA, and A610, as well as modern families including the A110, A290, and A390. Because the historic and modern A110 belong to different production eras, the complete VIN and period-appropriate records matter.
Overview

Identify the Alpine before researching parts

Submit the complete VIN when processing is supported, then review every field returned by the available source. The result may identify manufacturer and vehicle attributes encoded in the VIN or supplied through manufacturer data.

After reviewing the result, continue through the VIN-specific OEM catalog path and verify critical part numbers against vehicle labels, service information, and other appropriate records before ordering or installation.

Help

Finding and checking the complete Alpine VIN

Use the complete identifier exactly as recorded and confirm uncertain characters through authoritative vehicle records.
Check the identifier recorded in the vehicle's official documents.
Compare the documented VIN with the identifier shown on the vehicle label available to you.
Consult period-appropriate records for an older A310, GTA, A610, or historic A110.
Resolve any disagreement through Alpine or an appropriate service channel before using catalog data.
i
Identifier presentation can differ by vehicle era and market. Do not guess a missing or unclear character, and do not substitute a model name for the complete VIN.
Capabilities

What an Alpine VIN lookup may return

Returned information is determined by the VIN, market, model year, manufacturer data, and the catalog sources available to 7zap.
Manufacturer context
The VIN may return manufacturer-related information. For Alpine, manufacturer identifiers must be interpreted in the wider Renault Group homologation context rather than assumed to be exclusive to the retail badge.
Available vehicle attributes
Supported sources may return encoded or manufacturer-supplied vehicle attributes. The precise field set varies, so absent information should not be treated as proof that an attribute does not exist.
Catalog navigation
Review the returned VIN data, continue through the VIN-specific OEM catalog path when available, and verify critical part numbers against labels and service information.
Recognition is not universal. Historic vehicles and different production eras may require period documentation or service assistance in addition to online data.
VIN anatomy

Reading the main sections of a modern VIN

A modern 17-character VIN is commonly discussed in three sections. The exact meaning of each position must come from applicable manufacturer and market data.
WMI — positions 1–3
The World Manufacturer Identifier provides manufacturer-entity and regional context. No Alpine-exclusive WMI should be assumed; Renault Group homologation may be relevant, and the code must be read with the complete VIN and market.
VDS — positions 4–9
The Vehicle Descriptor Section can contain manufacturer-defined vehicle characteristics. This page does not assign Alpine-specific meanings to individual positions because those meanings are not uniform across every era or source.
VIS — positions 10–17
The Vehicle Identifier Section distinguishes the vehicle within the applicable identification system. Do not infer a model year, production plant, or serial interpretation unless the returned manufacturer data supports it.
Manufacturing

Dieppe and Alpine production context

Production history can help frame research, but a plant should never be inferred from an unsupported VIN position.
Dieppe Jean Rédélé plant
Dieppe
i
Renault Group identifies the Dieppe Jean Rédélé plant as Alpine's birthplace and as the current production site for the A390 while it prepares a third-generation A110. This context does not prove the assembly location of an individual vehicle; use supported VIN data and vehicle records for that determination.
Value

A disciplined route from identity to catalog research

The useful outcome is not simply decoding a string, but reducing ambiguity before consulting OEM catalog information.
Separate Alpine production eras
The historic and modern A110 are distinct production eras. VIN data and period-appropriate records help prevent a familiar model name from becoming the sole basis for catalog research.
Review source-backed attributes
A supported result can present available vehicle attributes without requiring assumptions about model-year or position meanings that the source does not confirm.
Continue to the relevant catalog path
Review the returned VIN data, continue through the VIN-specific OEM catalog path when available, and verify critical part numbers against labels and service information.
Verify critical part numbers
Before purchase or installation, compare critical part numbers with vehicle labels, service information, and appropriate Alpine or service-channel records.
Why premium

Why a catalog-oriented VIN workflow matters

A decoded label alone is not a fitment guarantee. 7zap connects supported VIN processing with a practical OEM catalog research path while preserving source limitations.

Recommended Alpine research sequence

Provide the complete VIN only when you have confirmed it from reliable vehicle information.
Review the returned manufacturer and vehicle attributes, noting any missing or uncertain fields.
Review the returned VIN data, continue through the VIN-specific OEM catalog path when available, and verify critical part numbers against labels and service information.
Verify critical part numbers using labels, service information, and appropriate records before ordering.

Compare the VIN result with the vehicle's records

Use the lookup as one technical reference. If returned data conflicts with labels, documents, period records, or service information, pause catalog research and resolve the discrepancy through an appropriate service channel.
