CONDITION
This 1963 Sunbeam Alpine is a charming and beautifully presented European-market example with a unique local history. Originally manufactured in France, the car was first bought by a Barcelona architect and later acquired by the current owner in the early 2000s. A comprehensive restoration was carried out around 2007 by a respected local mechanic, including a new cooling system to address the Alpines known overheating tendencies, an upgraded exhaust system, fresh paint, and a new soft top.
The car has been extremely sparingly used, as the elderly owner eventually stopped driving, and it is now carefully stored. Its condition reflects years of gentle use and attentive maintenance. The engine performs well-particularly once up to temperature-and the car presents beautifully in its vibrant Red finish. The standout aesthetic feature is undoubtedly its chrome wheels, which give the Alpine a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.
With its clean presentation, local provenance, tasteful upgrades, and classic British roadster charm, this Alpine is an ideal choice for weekend drives, vintage rallies, or adding a stylish European classic to any collection.
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED AND WELL-PRESERVED 1963 SUNBEAM ALPINE WITH UNIQUE LOCAL HISTORY!
