Sunbeam Alpine.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Sunbeam Alpine, produced between 1959 and 1968, is a classic British roadster that appeals to enthusiasts and collectors. These cars are prized for their styling and driving character, but age-related deterioration is a real concern. Potential buyers should be particularly vigilant about structural corrosion, which can hide in sills, floorpans, and body seams. Given their age and relative rarity, parts availability and previous restoration quality vary significantly between examples.
