Sunbeam Alpine Mk I
(1953 - 1960)
Car articles about Sunbeam Alpine Mk I by year
In the course of the fifties and sixties, man learned to domesticate the sports car. One of these tame road robbers was produced by the Rootes Group and was called the Sunbeam Alpine. The pretty convertible was intended to combine temperament and comfort and also be easy on the wallet. Did it succeed? This article quotes a test report from 1960 and shows the versatile car in historical photos and sales material.
It was prettier than a Triumph TR3, more powerful than an MGA, cheaper than an Austin-Healey 3000, more advanced than a Morgan - and more comfortable than all four put together. Nevertheless, the Sunbeam Alpine failed to achieve great success. And even today, many enthusiasts of English roadsters still do not regard it as a true representative of its genre. In most cases, they simply compare it with the wrong cars. This article tells the richly illustrated story of the Alpine Sunbeam and explains why it deserves a second chance.
