Well, I located some more data regarding the 1961 Sebring Alpine that 
was sold to Sunbeam Dealer Bill Buchman...  it looks like the chain of 
ownership might of went like this.... leading down to the Miami area.

1) Bill Buchman - Sunbeam Dealer - Sarasota, Fl

2) Ralph Noseda - Perine, Fl  (Ralph went on to race Cobra's and other 
big bore cars... he was racing IMSA into the 70's, but passed away in 
1998)

3) George Lacy - Miami, Fl (can't seem to locate George... I called the 
two Geo. Lacey listed in Florida and they weren't the right one...)

So, if you run into a Series II Alpine with a strange gas tank filler 
area at the top of the fender like a Series III check it out more 
closely!
(Actually, any racing Alpine found in Florida would be neat...there 
were only 2-3 "active" in Nationals/Divisionals in the early to 
Mid-60's  - one of those being Bill Buchman's old Series I.  It has a 
list of wins that is very impressive)
