SUNBEAM ALPINE

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 on Sunday the 24th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

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
