plymouthcranbrook Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I had a couple in my youth, a 66 and a 61. Typical British cars from the period that will rust if a glass of water is placed near them. I enjoyed mine but after a while I did get tired of constantly working on them as they were my dd’s at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobtube Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Plymouthcranbrook, I, too, had a 65. There were many areas of rust-through. I can't believe that isn't the case with this one after seeing that interior shot. Front wheel wells would rust into the passenger compartment. Rear wells, also. I believe the asking price is truly pie in the sky. Maybe if it was a Tiger but a typical Alpine in this kind of condition, maybe 2K? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 If that were a Tiger with that asking price I would be all in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobtube Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Having just seen a beautiful 66 Alpine for sale on BAT currently bid at 8700 with two hours left, I'm going to revise my last comment about the 2K and say that this car above should be parted out or sold for 1K.

TAKerry Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Harsh! I guess I am a sucker as I see a very restorable car here. The body looks good. Interior needs replaced and looks like a motor rebuild is in order but is that not the case with most old car projects. Yes the new owner will most likely be underwater after doing so but is that not the case with most old car projects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 A kid in high school drove one of these. I thought it was pretty cool. Definitely a step up from an MGB in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Harper Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I had an uncle that had a Sunbeam. I have always liked them. I am not a big fan of fins but the Sunbeam pulled it off well. A bit softer than an MG. Other than floor pans this one looks like a solid start. It appears to be all there as well. Interior would be the biggest challenge but I believe nearly everything should be readily available. Worth $4,900.00??? No. but at a more reasonable price it would probably make a good project car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
