The Sunbeam ALPINE

The Sunbeam Alpine is a classic British sports car that was primarily sold in the United Kingdom between 1959 and 1968. It was a two-seater convertible, epitomizing the style and spirit of the 60s' roadster culture. The vehicle was manufactured by the Rootes Group under the Sunbeam marque, known for producing cars that blended style, performance, and practicality. Over its production run, the Alpine underwent several updates, which are often referred to by series numbers, from Series I to Series V, each iteration bringing modifications and improvements to both the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of the car.

Typically, the Sunbeam Alpine appealed to a demographic that desired sportiness and elegance without the hefty price tag associated with luxury sports cars. It was bought by individuals looking for a car that combined performance with day-to-day drivability. Over 70,000 units were produced and sold, a testament to its popularity and market success. The car sold well, not only in the UK but also in several international markets, including the United States. Despite its relatively modest engine size, the Alpine was well-loved for its balanced handling, stylish design, and convertible top – making it a favored choice for sunny weekend drives.

Throughout its production years and beyond, the Sunbeam Alpine has become memorable, not just as a car, but as a cultural icon of its time. It garnered fame for its appearances in films and Television, most notably in the 1960s spy series 'Get Smart'.
