I'm just starting on my Alpine journey - hoping to own one later in the year. Off to Moffat June 30th to see some more beauties I hope. It's great to see something so perfectly factory as it shows what is correct - I imagine there's a lot of modded cars that are not. Great channel.
The Alpine truly is a remarkable car, you won’t regret it. Whether you want a classic to use regularly alongside modern traffic or to have something special to enjoy on sunny days the Alpine fits the bill. The high quality of the initial build helps now 60+ years later. Good luck with your search.
My father had a 1960 Sunbeam Alpine twin carb with electric overdrive he bought in England and brought back to the U.S. The car had the jumpseats in the back and my sister and I sat back there as small children. He drove it in S.C.C.A rallies from time to time.
@TheSunbeamAlpineChannel Yes, very much. My father loved cars and British cars especially, owning a Jaguar Mkii 3.8 and an XJ6. When my parents went to England to buy a car in 1960, Mom wanted the Jaguar but Dad wanted the Sunbeam. They attended a large auto show in London to seek out a car. I still have the map given to my parents showing the Rootes service locations in London which was given to them when they obtained the car.

It is lovely how classic cars can evoke such memories. I hope you enjoyed the video.
