1966 Sunbeam Alpine Series IV B Fully restored a few years ago and barely used since; Series V 1,725cc engine with unleaded head; overdrive; alloys; hard top Sunbeam announced its Alpine sports model in 1959.
The new car was a change of direction for the firm and was aimed squarely at the younger MG/Triumph TR buyer.
The first series was powered by a 78bhp 1,494cc four-cylinder engine, enlarged to the 80bhp 1,592cc unit in the 1962 Series II.
In 1963 the Series III arrived with larger front brake discs, a bigger boot and a revised interior.
Power went up by another 2bhp the following year with the Series IV, easily recognised by its much more modest tail fins.
The final model was the Series V of 1965 which had a 92bhp twin carb 1,725cc engine, enough to power the Alpine to 100mph.
An oil cooler and an alternator were standard fittings as was a close-ratio all-synchro gearbox.
Production of the Alpine V continued until 1968 when it was quietly dropped from the Rootes line-up.
