Re: Badges on the boot and fenders

Roland,
        It is my understanding that the cars sold in Europe were badged as
Alpine 260.
        US Mk1 cars were Sunbeam 260. After Chrysler bought them, they did
not want to give Ford any unnecessary credit, so the Mk1A's were rebadged
as Sunbeam V8. The Tigers were sold in Chrysler showrooms with a Ford
engine that they had to warranty! A marketing nightmare!
        You should have three Alpine 260 badges. One on the boot and one on
each front wing.
        Good Luck!
