Introduced in 1959, the Ken Howes/Jeff Crompton-penned Sunbeam Alpine was developed through five Series over its 10 year production run, the model's popularity resulting in some 69,251 examples being built. The final iteration Series V featured a new five-bearing 1725cc engine.
Recently benefitting from an extensive two year restoration, we are advised this delightful matching numbers Alpine started life as a GT but now has a soft top fitted. The works included the fitment of a twin choke Weber carburettor in place of the original Stromberg units, rechroming of the brightwork, new black interior, new hood and respray. The vendor now rates the bodywork as "excellent", the paintwork as "perfect", the engine and interior as "excellent" and transmission as "very good". Powered by the 1725cc unit with servo brakes we understand the car will be offered with a document from the owner's club confirming it as a 1725 cc car as the V5 incorrectly states 1592 cc. Offered with Swansea V5 document and MoT to June 2016, the odometer currently displays an unwarranted c.47,000 miles. Simple and rugged, with a thriving club scene, the Alpine is a true classic.
