This Alpine spent it’s life in warm, dry Tucson Arizona where it was used sparingly by a snowbird from Washington State. It was kept up to date and maintained regularly. It is an excellent driver but not a concours car. Paint is shiny but aging a bit.
As can be seen in the video, driving this Alpine is an absolute hoot. It's tight in the corners and lively of the line. Alpines are often preferred by racers for these qualities and many have extensive racing histories. Upgrading this Alpine to the 15 inch Genuine Minilites and new Cooper CS3 tyres really improves the ride and drive over the standard 13 inch configuration. Within minutes behind the wheel, you'll summon your inner 007 (or agent 86) and be off on an adventure every time you venture out for a coffee or a weekend jaunt.

Please come inspect this great Sunbeam Alpine before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. Please keep in mind that this is a used car. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking appliance your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car.
