Factory-Original Sunbeam Alpine & Tiger - Originality guide to Sunbeam's Alpine and Tiger, including Harrington coupés

NUOVO

The Sunbeam Alpine, introduced by the Rootes Group in 1959, was designed to compete in the sports car market, particularly in the USA. It distinguished itself with features like roll-up windows and an attached soft top, offering a level of refinement uncommon among its rivals. Its attractive design further secured a strong market position.

To meet the American demand for higher performance, Rootes developed the Sunbeam Tiger in 1964. This model featured a Ford V8 engine, delivering more than twice the horsepower of the Alpine's four-cylinder engine. The Tiger was produced in two main versions, with the second incorporating a larger and more powerful V8.

Over its nine-year production run, the Alpine underwent five major updates, each enhancing its specifications to align with customer expectations. Both the Alpine and Tiger experienced numerous specification changes, making it challenging for current owners to determine their car's original configurations.

This book meticulously documents these production changes. It serves as an invaluable resource for enthusiasts and restorers aiming for accurate and satisfying restorations.

The History of the Sunbeam Alpine

The first generation of the Sunbeam Alpine was produced in 1953-54 and named after the prestigious Alpine Rally in France and Italy. The name was revived in 1959 for a new model, the main subject of this book. Launched in July 1959 on the French Riviera, it remained in production until 1968. The Alpine was used in racing and rallying in Britain, Europe, the United States, and Canada.

In this book, author John Willshire explores the history, development, and production of the Sunbeam Alpine, its various models, and its use in racing and rallying. He also provides advice for those who wish to own and operate an Alpine today. This is the first book in over twenty years dedicated solely to the Sunbeam Alpine, featuring a wide range of historic and modern photographs.
