In the box of my model is printed "Lansdowne" which I assume is the
product line name. The manufacturer is Brookland Models located in
Bath, England. The car is a 1/43 scale red Alpine III. It is made out
of metal and has a fixed red hardtop.
I have always wondered, does anyone have Sunbeam collectibles like
dealer signs, coffee mugs, pens, clocks, etc.? Not the remanufactured
stuff, but the real items.

In my model car collection I have an Alpine model from a make called:
Telsalda it's about 5 inches long made from plastic and has a friction
motor in it.
De Alpine is a series I or II and is red with a black hardtop, there are
stickers on it of the an African rallye probably once held in Kenya, and
rallye number 6 is on the doors and bonnet as well as a cowbar on the front
and a single spotlight on the front firewall as well as an extra spare wheel
on the hardtop.
Does anyone of you have any other Alpine models ?
and did the Alpine really compete in an African rallye ??
