Reply to: RE>>"Alpine, the Classic Sunbeam"
The best source for stock Alpine configurations is from old car magazine
reviews. The Brooklands Alpine and Tiger Gold collection book is still
available. It covers all Series of Alpines and Tigers. If you don't have
this book buy it. It is well worth the $25. Another source is any of the
annual Sunbeam club shows. There are always fellow owners present who would
be happy to discuss stock configurations.

YES! I would appreciate more information on the stock configurations
of the Alpine, particularly regarding colors of various components
and original materials used. My car was originally someone elses
parts car, so I never saw what it was "supposed" to look like and
replaced the missing parts with what I thought was correct.
This book is an excellent reference, I used it extensively when
I was attempting to put my car back together...
