I've bought a number of Alpine and other Rootes brochures over the last few
years and have yet to find one particular reliable source. There are a
number of vendor listings in Hemmings which include Rootes stuff in their
inventory. You'll have to write or phone each one to find out what they
currently have in stock. (I think one of the major ones now has a Web site,
but I can't remember which)
Old car swap meets are another good source. At some meets where you might
not find a single British (let alone Sunbeam) part, you can still often find
sales literature vendors stocking what you're looking for. Good quality
Alpine stuff is fairly rare, but usually not too pricey. Owners of
Sunbeam-Talbots and Humbers seem to have the best quality/selection/price
for their marques' brochures by far, at least from my own experience.
