    2024 invasion registration

    Hi Bill There is one more week to register your car and then the fee goes up $10 and stays at that rate if you register at the gate. For Sponsoring members of the SAOCA there is no fee for the Invasion itself but that may change next year as we have a few new ideas we want to try then. Thanks, Eric

    I am posting this for John.... My Alpine is the March cover car! My name is the same as my club ID… john hemsath, and I live (retired) in Northern California in the city of Discovery Bay. I’ve always liked British cars and owed a couple jags in my younger days. Not sure how I zeroed in on...

    Best place for parts?

    One great place for parts is to attend our next Invasion in Columbia, SC this April 5+6. We always have a big swap meet. It has doubled in size since two years ago. And we will have several Free Tables where many good parts are free!

    Sunbeam bodges you have found

    Maybe not a bodge but to me it sure looks like one! I have never seen chrome headlight eyebrows on a Sunbeam before. Not that there's anything wrong with that but over MKII non-peaked headlight rims as well?

    Sunbeam bodges you have found

    Thought I would get this thread going again as I just bought an Alpine with lots of nice features and lots of bodges too. How about buying a new gas cap lid and not installing the original inside parts to seal it as well as not installing the spring to hold the release button out?? Hey it looks...

    Watercolor Sunbeam

    That looks like a 2000 on the left. On the right is a Giulia Spider 1600. Mine was a 1963 and red. Wonderful cars with a DOHC all alloy engine and 5 speed. Only problem was that so many people told me "what a nice Karmann Ghia" I got tired of hearing that. When I bought my first Sunbeam (a...

    Watercolor Sunbeam

    Talented artist and a nice surprise to see him painting the two Alfa Romeos. My first car was the same as the one on the right but mine sure did not look that good! Bought it for $600 when stationed in northern Minnesota. My next car was a $600 Sunbeam Tiger from Duluth. Sure can't find cars...

    Thanks for your update! I have to ask though-your February calendar photo shows the tower of Pisa in the background. Is it a Chicago landmark?? Or photoshop?

    What color should I paint my Tiger?

    Wow I didn't know Rocco had such a long secluded driveway! Think how that Tiger would look sitting there painted white with a red interior....

    Parts, parts, and more parts! Bring them for our huge swap meet on Friday. Last year we overflowed into the parking lot. We will also have a table or two for parts you want to give away. One man's trash is another's treasure!
