I was reading the current issue of Keith Martins Sports Car Market and he
reports that the Bonahams auction held in September had up for bids John
Horsman's Sunbeam Harrington Alpine B91103080DHRO. It sold for $25,731 and
needs a full restoration The car is a converted Harrington Alpine Le Mans
that was modified by John Horsman with parts supplied by Des Odell and the
Rootes competition department to turn it into a Tiger with a Ford 289 V8.
John Horsman worked on the GT40 at Ford Advanced Vehicles along with John
Wyer. They then formed JW Automotive which raced as the Gulf team and won Le
mans several times in the 1960'a and 70's
