1962 SUNBEAM ALPINE SERIES II FINNED MODEL READY FOR RESTORATION. STORED INSIDE FOR MANY YEARS AND MOST THE PARTS (AND TRIM PIECES) HAVE BEEN REMOVED. I.E. DOOR HANDLES, DOOR HINGES, HOOD AND TRUNK HINGES AND LETTERING, DASHBOARD (GAUGES IN SEPARATE BOX), BUMPERS, CONVERTIBLE TOP FRAME, ALL INTERIOR PIECES. MOST ITEMS WERE STORED IN BOXES AND ARE SITTING IN THE CAR, ALONG WITH THE BUMPERS, SEATS, GAS TANK. ALOT OF THE HARD WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. JUST NEEDS THE BODY WORK AND PAINT. THERE IS SOME RUST ALONG DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER PANEL AND FLOOR PANEL. ALL ORIGINAL. MOTOR IS MISSING CARBURETOR , INTAKE MANIFOLD AND RADIATOR. THERE ARE PLENTY OF RESOURCES OUT THERE SELLING PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. ORIGINAL COLOR CODE 53 (WEDGEWOOD BLUE). HEMMING'S IS A GOOD REFERENCE SITE FOR SUNBEAMS. LAST MILEAGE SHOWN ON ODOMETER IS A LITTLE OVER 54,000 MILES. THIS MAY NOT BE THE ACTUAL MILEAGE, BUT IS THE ONLY REFERENCE WE HAVE. RESERVE IS SET AT $1000 THIS WOULD BE A VERY NICE RESTORATION WITH THE EXISTING INLINE 4 CYLINDER MOTOR (1592CC) AND 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION (OPERATES SMOOTHLY AND SEEMS TIGHT). BEST OF ALL, IT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A V8 SPEEDSTER, JUST LIKE THE TIGER MODEL. THESE CARS WERE VERY STRONGLY BUILT USING UNIBODY CONSTRUCTION. BRAKES ARE DISC FRONT AND DRUM BACKS. GREAT PROJECT CAR WITH EXCITING POTENTIAL! GOOD LUCK! On Feb-26-11 at 13:39:58 PST, seller added the following information: JAMES BOND'S SEAN CONNERY, DROVE ONE OF THESE IN THE MOVIE "DR. NO" OTHER FAMOUS PEOPLE DROVE THIS MODEL INCLUDING CARY GRANT, MAXWELL SMART IN "GET SMART", MICHAEL CAINE AND OTHERS.
