1954 Sunbeam Alpine Sport Roadster

  • Chassis Number: A3013546/LRX
  • Engine Number: A3013546/LRX
The Sunbeam-Talbot Alpine was produced in limited numbers with hand-built coachwork by the old London firm of Thrupp and Maberly. Introduced in early 1953, the model name was selected to celebrate the company's success in the winter-time Alpine Rallies of the early 1950s. Quickly proving its potential in competition, the model won a Coupe des Alpes trophy in the 1953 event with London theater director Shiela van Damm and navigator Anne Hall, the duo completing the event without any penalties. Sir Stirling Moss and John Fitch also rallied successfully in Sunbeam Talbot Alpines.

This particular example has been given a restoration with the hand-built coachwork finished in an appropriate Cream color with an interior trimmed in matching colors with brown carpeting. There are color-coded wheels with chrome trim rings and whitewall tires.

The 2,267cc overhead-valve inline four-cylinder engine breathes through a Stromberg Downdraft carburetor and delivers 92 horsepower at 4,200 RPM. There is a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and independent front suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
