    Sunbeam Alpine

    Sunbeam Alpine

    In 1948 Sunbeam presented its first post-war car which came in two version, the Talbot 80 and 90, one with a 1200 cc engine and the other with 1900. Based on the 90 Cabriolet, Sunbeam produced a stronger version, fitted with a 2.3 litre engine, which became a respected weapon in rugged rallies. This was proven by Sterling Moss who won the Coupe des Alpes with the car, and ever since the name Alpine stuck with it.

    The engine produced only 80 BHP in standard trim and could reach 150 kph. Production lasted from 1953 to 1955 and about 3000 examples were made. Here is a pristine one, shot at the Zolder historic grand prix in 2004.
