I am a new subscriber to this list. In the halcyon days of a misspent
youth, I owned a 1954 Sunbeam Alpine which I dearly loved.
Unfortunately, I had the rear end blow up on me during a trip from
Chicago to New York, my parents took care of it for me, and appropriated
the car, which they ultimately sold.
I have recently conceived a desire to get another one, and am looking
for one that is for sale. They seem to be extremely scarce. I believe
I read somewhere that only 3000 we ever made.
If anyone out there knows of any that are available, I'd sure like to
hear about it. My midlife crisis is now in full swing, but even my wife
admits it is a really pretty little car!
Thanks,
