The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat
open car launched in 1953 as the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot
to bear the Sunbeam name alone since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam
and Talbot by
the Rootes Group. Ken Howes and Jeff
Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the Alpine
in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car aimed
principally at the US market. Ken Howes contributed some
80% of the overall design work and. throughout its production
cycle. the Alpine was manufactured in four subsequent
revisions through to 1968. Production stopped shortly after the
Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group. The Series V
Alpine was produced from 1965 through to 1968. the final version
having a new five-bearing 1725 cc engine with twin Zenith-Stromberg
semi-downdraught carburettors producing 93 bhp.
This outstanding Sunbeam Alpine has recently been
restored by the fastidious vendor who purchased the car some two
years ago and started work on her immediately. The quality of
the workmanship has to be viewed to be appreciated the restoration
has been fully documented and photographed and consequently a
splendid history file accompanies this car. which also contains
confirmation that it was taken off the road on
8 th December 1977 with the odometer reading
86. 43.
Also supplied with a V 5 registration document. a full
one year's Mo T test certificate plus many old Mo T certificates
prior to 1977 within the comprehensive history file this is surely
one of the finest Sunbeam Alpines available today.
