1966 Sunbeam Alpine GT Series V, superb restored SOLD

A beautiful example of a rare car in outstanding restored condition, we are delighted to be able to offer this most attractive Alpine on behalf of the owner. 

Quoting from the Autocar Road Test dated May 1966, the Series V Alpine was fitted with the then current 5 main bearing 1725cc engine which gave improved performance and economy over the previous model and when fitted with overdrive, as this car has, gave a good choice of gear ratios and a fuss free drive. 

Being the GT model, it was equipped with a detachable hard top but no soft top, a tonneau cover does come with the car to give protection in light showers.

We've carried out a full inspection of the car on our ramp and can advise that the underside is excellent and with evidence of a high quality restoration.

The file that accompanies the car includes the original buff log book showing that it spent its first 50 years in the Bristol area, 40+ with one owner.

Early viewing is advised as we don't think that the car will be with us for long!

All our sales cars are available for viewing, by appointment please, in our large dry, well lit showroom.
