- Sorry for the lack of MG content, but does anyone here know if the hardtop version of the Sunbeam Alpine - the "Harrington" I believe - was ever sold in the United States? If not, are they hard to fi

- Hi Paul, That is one of my favorite - and rarest - LBC's. Only a very few were ever brought to the US. I once found a nice picture of one of the US Harrington's on line somewhere. I am pretty sure th

- Yes, they were, according to the Standard Catalog of Imported Cars. But only 250 were built, total, so they will be rare in any locale. I have seen one at the Palo Alto British Car Meet. -- Max Heim

- I know where there is one of those sitting in a junkyard not 30 minutes from my house. I had thought it was a GT6 when I found it. It is in very poor shape but maybe I should give it a look again and

- And there was also a Sunbeam Tiger version of the Alpine Herrington. Don't know if it was "real" but I raced against it at Elkhart Lake a few years ago. Very cool car. /// or try http://www.team.net/

- A friend of mine owns one of these - I figured that he had some long forgotten urge to own a slant-back Barracuda or something. Rare, unusual, even heavier than the already portly regular alpine, and

- Don't know anything about them other than what I just read and saw, but I think on top of being sweet looking cars, the first version (with the fins still intact) stands a little visual comparison w

- I can't deny Glenn has a good point, but the comparison isn't exactly flattering to the Sunbeam. Still, Henry J's are cute cars, and interesting from several standpoints... in particular, how many ca
