The title is "Alpine, the Classic Sunbeam," not "...Classic Sportscar"
as reported yesterday. (Chris McGovern is the author.)

The book talks a lot about the induction changes between the Series II
and Series III--yes, the changeover from twin-Zenith to single-Solex
carburetion happened midway through Series III production. It says
diddley-squat about the exhaust system. So, at this point, I'd have
to say that my association of the tube-type headers with the
twin-Zenith setup is based on the two Series IIs I've owned, plus
Franks report of the same situation.
