At the time, the Sunbeam Alpine offered more comfort than other British sports cars of its era and a high measure of style, although power was lacking for gaining more success in the worldwide market. The Alpine's anemic powerplant made way for a small-block Ford V-8, four-speed transmission, rack-and-pinion steering, and stiffened springs. The results were figures that no sporting driver could resist, and for two years it was the American Hot Rod Association's national record holder over a quarter-mile drag strip.

Presented as an ideal candidate for rolling restoration, the Sunbeam comes from several years of garage storage, in running order and complete, retaining a considerable amount of original equipment and finishes. The exterior's paint was applied many decades ago, while the original lacquer is found in many places throughout the vehicle. The current 289 HiPo motor was fitted in 1975, in place of the original 260, which also accompanies the sale.
