Sunbeam Alpine Series II

The Alpine was Sunbeam's 1950s-60s open two-seater, aimed at relaxed touring more than outright speed. This Series II was first registered on 11 November 1960 and was finished from new in Racing Red, with black leather trimmed in red piping and a black hood.

It has covered a recorded 58,000 miles, which the dealer believes to be genuine, and has had four owners from new, spending its whole life around Colchester. Chassis and engine numbers are stated to match. The car has had an older restoration that still presents well.

Documentation includes the original buff logbook and previous logbooks, a collection of MOTs from the 1970s, old tax discs, restoration photographs and a list of improvements made by earlier owners. It was supplied new by E. Farrow of Cross Engineering in Thorrington, Essex. At this age it is tax exempt.
