The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat open car from Rootes Group's Sunbeam car marque. The original was 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.

A complete redesign of the model was begun in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car. The Alpine was produced in four subsequent revisions through to 1968. Total production numbered around 70,000 with production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group.

Supplied with its original and transferable number ‘MHG 44', we are advised that this 1961 Sunbeam Alpine has recently had a full body restoration having been shot blasted, re painted, new inner and outer sills fitted and its interior newly trimmed. It also has a soft top, tonneau cover and reproduction mini light wheels fitted.

Beautifully presented in Glen Green with contrasting Red interior, this eye-catching Sunbeam Alpine is currently showing a recorded mileage of 68,300 unwarranted miles, with a MoT expiry of 13/10/2015. The vendor informs us it has had a Rootes reconditioned engine fitted at some point and we are told it is running very well.

The vendor informs that this delightful and useable classic car turns heads wherever it goes. It really does offer a possible entry into affordable car classic motoring. It looks even better in the flesh so viewing is highly recommended.
