    Wanted series I , II ,III

    Series III for sale My numbers matching, '63 series III is for sale. I've finally decided to let her go. I have been wanting to restore it for 7 years. Sat in a pole barn, not a rust bucket but needs body work (old bondo chipping out) and new floors. A new battery and distributor and she'd be...

    Octane Magazine

    Sorry guys... as a bond nut, I have to correct this. "Q" is the gadget guru. "M" is the Director of MI6. I share your frustration with the lack of attention given to the Alpine as the 1st Bond car.

    No spark!

    I think I'll put stock equipment back in there...give that a go. Thanks for all of your input. If I do buy another electronic ignition, I'll wait until I know what is going on with my car first. Many thanks, Lester

    No spark!

    Thanks for the reply...What about stock-style condensors and points. I see they are available. Are they any good? I just do know if I want to invest in a replacement electronic system. Any thoughts? thanks again, lester

    No spark!

    Hi all, Been a while since I've posted. It's been a busy summer. Now, I'm not getting any spark in my S3. It just cranks and cranks. I was wondering if any of you have the Crane cams XR700 electronic ignition. It was put in by a PO. The light on it no longer comes on. I did reverse...

    British Car Show In Oklahoma City

    I'm really looking forward to this show, and to meeting you fellow Sunbeamers! I'm disapointed that I couldn't make it the Invasion. Work is just too busy right now. I am getting back to my weekend ritual of tending the car and trying to get her running again. If she is running, she will be...

    Differential leak?

    Thanks all. I hope I don't get in that far, just yet. I want at least one summer before I fully strip it down. But if I have to, you can bet I'll be back for more of that great advice. If it is only seeping small amounts of fluid around the filler plug bolt and the immediate area, but is not...
