About this car

This 1961 Sunbeam Alpine Series II has been turned into a road-registered competition car. It is painted Seacrest Green with a white hardtop and black interior, the scheme used by the Rootes Group works cars at Sebring in 1962.

It was converted to competition specification in 2011 and has been extensively updated since 2023. The work includes an engine rebuild by Vibration Free with fewer than five hours' running, a replacement four-speed gearbox with overdrive on third and fourth, new adjustable dampers, a Coolex radiator, a new fuel tank with twin pumps, twin Weber 40 DCOE carburettors and new wire racing wheels and tyres.

The history file holds the current V5, numerous invoices, HSCC historic papers and a heritage certificate.
