SUMMARY

A well restored example of the fifth generation of Sunbeam's pretty little Alpine Roadster.

DESCRIPTION

  • The Alpine was progressively improved through Series II-V, gaining an all-synchromesh gearbox in 1964 on the Series IV and a 1,725cc, 93bhp, twin-carb, five-bearing engine in 1965 on the Series V, which also marked the arrival of alternator electrics and an oil cooler
  • This is an original, UK-supplied Sunbeam Alpine Series V, first registered on 04/07/1966
  • Purchased by our vendor in April 2016 and restored over a four year period from 2017 (restoration images in file)
  • The car was taken back to bare metal with all panel parts required purchased from Sunbeam Spares. Treated with a special bare-metal primer before the application of a 2-pack paint finish in Old English White. The car's look is enhanced by a Tiger-style chrome strip and 'pencil whitewalls' on the silver wires
  • Overdrive restored and new clutch plate and bearing. Head skimmed and new head gasket. New wiring loom and overdrive loom
  • The interior has been beautifully retrimmed in BMW Havana Brown leather, including the restored Sunbeam Tiger seats, alongside Nutmeg carpets from Coverdale and a new mohair hood and hood cover
  • In our vendor's words 'The car is not concours, but is in amazing condition and can be driven with confidence'
