Description

Estimated Price: £18,000 - £20,000

  • Produced between March 1963 until January 1964, the Series III was a transitional model and not many right-hand drive examples of the 5,863 cars built have survived
  • This example is understood to have been shipped to South Africa in 1964 as a CKD, right-hand drive export with SA and Series III stamped chassis numbers
  • The history file evidences the UK-sourcing of parts for its 2017 restoration in its native South Africa. Subsequently imported and registered with the DVLA by our vendor on 05/07/2020
  • It remains really well presented in gleaming Carnival Red with a black hardtop and chrome wire wheels
  • Our vendor has always had a soft spot for the Sunbeam Alpine, a passion ignited by his first car, a Sunbeam Alpine!
  • Stored in a de-humidified facility, the odometer reading of 59,721km, or 37,100 miles, has appropriate ageing to the digits and other instruments
  • The Sunbeam Alpine is often regarded as the first 'Bond' car with Sean Connery behind the wheel in his debut as 007 in Dr.No
  • Keenly estimated, we welcome close inspection of this handsome and well restored car
