Glad you had a good trip and saw some of the "other"
Sunbeams. As Ole mentioned, as of two weeks ago I completed
my goal of having one of each of the Sunbeam Talbot series including
the "proper" Alpine. I have added pictures of the trio on my home page if you
wish to see the completed set. There are others out there who have accomplished
the same goal I am sure.
Regards,
Bob
