1955 Sunbeam Alpine MK III Navigation
This Sunbeam-Talbot Alpine Mark III was purchased by the current California-based owner in 2007, and soon received a cost-no-object restoration. During the work, the engine was upgraded to the special, higher-compression version with enlarged valves and brought horsepower to nearly 100 bhp. The engine is backed by a four-speed manual gearbox and there are four-wheel drum brakes. In the front is an independent suspension with coil springs, while in the back is a live axle setup with semi-elliptical leaf springs.
