Reply to: RE>Alpine Service Manual
An Alpine parts book (originally used by Rootes dealers for ordering parts.)
with exploded diagrams for every part and body structure is available from
Berkshire Apline Center (England) for 24 pounds. I have a copy and it is very
useful. Tom

Dear list,
I bought the Roots "Light Car Range" manual for cars with 1725 engines
for reference during my upcoming restoration of my early Series V Alpine.
I was disappointed to find essentially nothing useful on body repairs,
and it is difficult or impossible to figure what does and does not apply
to the Alpine.
I gather there never was a manual specifically for the Series V. Is there
any other manual specifically for earlier Alpines, as opposed to a generic
Rootes light car manual, that would have useful info on Alpine body work
and running gear?
I would think there would be a good deal of overlap if there was a manual
for the Series III or IV that covered body work and suspension. It is a
real bummer to pry off something that seems stuck, thus destroying it,
only to find there was a hidden bolt holding it.
