Talk:Sunbeam Alpine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since I was one of the Founding members of the now defunct Sunbeam Alpine Club of San Jose, and a collector of Rootes cars, I'm familiar with all of the Series Alpines, having owned several Alpines, including the later 1969 Alpine that was the basis for the Plymouth Arrow. I'm familiar with the sales literature ( the roll-up side windows was featured in the marketing ) and helped Sunbeam Specialties get started; it's still here today. Our family has the same car featured in Dr. No that was the FIRST car that James Bond drove and eliminated his enemies by driving under a crane. I think that the hearse the bad guys were in was also a Rootes product. We also own one of the ill-fated series IV automatic Alpines with the Borg-Warner transmission.
