What a pity they didnt do much research.. perhaps Wikipedia?

*"Sunbeam made a splash in the US in 1959 when it introduced the Alpine, a
sporty little ride with a 2.3-liter inline-4*"
They have confused the "mark" alpines with the "series" cars.

*"The biggest challenge in building the Tiger was fitting a large American
engine in a tiny UK-designed body. To accomplish this, the design team used
rack-and-pinion steering and a number of other modifications considered
exotic at the time*"
Um... err exotic?

There are also a few misleading statements regarding the spec...
