The Sunbeam alpine owner's club mentioned is probably the Sunbeam Talbot
Alpine Register (STAR). They are not on the internet, but the
membership secretary is Derek Cook, 47 Crescent Wood Road, Sydenham,
London, SE26 6SA. His phone number is 01306 884578 (I think the initial
'0' is dropped when you call from the US. The North American Contact is
Pete Woodall, 18801 NW 47th Avenue, Ridgefield, WA 98642, and his phone
is 360 576 4969.
Both these gentlemen are very pleasant, cooperative, informative and
helpful. Membership costs about $25 American, but don't hold me to
that.
Good Luck
