    Hard Top Side Window Buttons

    Hi, folks - With Warren's generous help, I'm in the midst of creating CAD files for the two different buttons used to hold the latches onto the side windows for Alpine SIII-SV & Tiger hard tops. I believe there are two types - a smaller one and a later larger one. I have samples that Warren...

    Hardtop color?

    So, as many of you know, my Alpine Series V is pretty much original. Of course, I’ve made many improvements internally in the engine, the brakes, etc. to improve power, safety and longevity, but I’ve tried to maintain an original look. So, it has come time to finally refresh the paint. I’m...

    Nice '66 Alpine on Craigslist...

    Seems a pretty well done restoration. I differ with some of the non-originality, but it does look handsome. https://smd.craigslist.org/cto/d/leonardtown-1966-sunbeam-alpine/7724572248.html

    Body Panels - who makes the best anymore?

    It's come time to refresh my Alpine - the original Carnival Red paint is pretty shot now and my hard top will need a repaint, too. Although my Alpine's body is almost entirely rust free, I do have some bubbling beginning on the right front lower wing, so I'll probably cut it and replace that...

    Hi, folks. I was called today by a friend who works at a local LBC restoration business. They are looking for a stock Tiger rear axle to replace a customer’s trashed one. Anybody got one they want to sell?

    Abandoned restoration project in NY

    Hard top and wire wheels make this Series IV a decent buy, I think. https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/pts/d/esopus-65-sunbeam-roadster-convertible/7622069541.html

    Does anyone know what happened to Moonstone SIV?

    I was looking at the thread on Fuel T's and realised I haven't seen Moonstone SIV in a while.... so I checked and found he's not been on since 2021. I hope he's OK, but does anyone know what's happened to our Australian mate...

    Zenith-Stromberg Throttle Shaft Interconnect Replacement

    Alpines supplied with twin Zenith-Stromberg CD150 carburettors have four plastic pieces on the throttle shaft linkage (Rootes PN 5044280) that provide a type of 'universal joint' functionality that prevents that shaft from binding when the carburettors are slightly misaligned (which they usually...

    A little help? (Parking in Sandusky)

    My bud and I are towing sports cars to the races at Put In Bay from Sept 19-22 and we are looking for a place to stash our tow cars & trailers near Sandusky, Ohio. We’d then drive our sports cars on/off the ferry. Is there anyone in that area who could offer a safe place to park?

    I dunno.... it's nice, but do you think he'll get $27,999?

    https://smd.craigslist.org/cto/d/leonardtown-1966-sunbeam-alpine-series/7478491689.html If this is anyone's here, my apologies, but this is the highest listed price for a Series V I've ever seen. If he does get it, and I hope to G*d he does, mine just increased in price astronomically.
