Our Sunbeam Alpine Spider Touring, with 38,500 KM on the odometer, was put into circulation on July 25, 1964. Its current owner purchased it in 2013.
This model comes in a pretty Sky Blue shade, with a Black leather interior. The condition of the body, the interior and the on-board instrumentation is impeccable, with no faults to report. Note that this copy has the serial number B925, indicating the models exported as spare parts. It is exported in order to be assembled in Italy by Touring.
Equipped with an 82-horsepower engine combined with a 4-speed mechanical gearbox, this Alpine offers fun and pleasant behavior, perfect for the first time you buy a vintage car.
This car has benefited from more than €25,000 in restoration, including the mechanics, the gearbox, the bridge, the body and the interior, carried out by the specialist Atelier H&C Rambouillet. All restoration invoices are available, attesting to the rigorous history and care given to the vehicle. The last overhaul was done in July 2024, and the consumables are in very good condition. This copy is matching numbers.
Here are the options and equipment available to this copy:
- Original Sunbeam burlap tool case
- New spare tire
- New hood
- New leather upholstery
The Sunbeam Alpine Spider Touring, based on the Sunbeam Alpine Series III, is a two-seat roadster produced by the Rootes Group. Initially launched in 1953, the Sunbeam Alpine went through several iterations, with the Series III produced between March 1963 and January 1964. The Series III, the rarest of the Alpines, saw the production of only 5863 units.
The Series III was available in two versions: GT with removable hardtop, and ST with soft top. Distinguishing features include high fins, a small quarter window for the guide, a vertical spare tire, tanks in the fins, and chrome bumpers. The GT version had a de-activated 1592cc engine for a smoother ride.
The Spider Touring was not a new creation by Carrozzeria Touring, but a reinterpretation of the English version, resulting from a contract with the Rootes group in 1961. The restyling focused primarily on the rear wings, which were simplified for a more modern aesthetic. The English design remained largely intact, with a sleek hardtop option transforming the roadster into a coupe.
Production stopped in mid-1964, when the collapse of the Rootes Group led to the closure of Carrozzeria Touring in 1966. The Sunbeam Alpine Spider Touring remains a unique testimony to Anglo-Italian collaboration in the automotive industry of the 1960s.
