Buyer’s notes
About the Sunbeam Alpine Series II
The Series II Alpine arrived in October 1960 with the engine enlarged to 1,592 cc and 80 bhp, and revised rear suspension; little else changed. 19,956 were built by early 1963.
What moves the price
- Structure: the sills carry much of the car’s strength, and sound original sills are worth paying for.
- Restoration quality: a full body restoration rarely makes sense at these values, so the standard of earlier work matters.
- Originality and history, including the hardtop if one came with the car.
Before you buy, check
- All three layers of the sills, with photographs or receipts for any sill work; correct sills curve to match the door.
- The rear spring hangers, boot floor, floor pans, valances, front chassis legs and the area around the bulkheads.
- Doors that open and close easily with the car on a jack, a sign that the sills and chassis are sound.
