    Sad news

    Paul's passing Guys: I agree with everyone here who thinks that Paul was a real stand up guy, but I especially agree with Nick. What we are facing right now with the loss of Paul's presence on this forum pales in comparison to what his wife and family must feel. I suggest that we all...

    15 alpines

    It's evidently real, I guess. I have visited with the owner of the cars (at least they said they owned them) via e-mail and they have sent me pics of twelve VIN tags and two SAL tags. I ID'd seven Series Vs, three Series IIs, one Series IV, and one Series I. The two with SAL tags only I...

    Alpines and Parts on Tulsa OK Craigslist

    David: I met Leland Dodd in OKC when I was first getting into Sunbeams back in early 1979. In fact, he introduced me to a guy who lived down the street from him who had a Tiger, a Tiger that I ended up buying in October of '79. It wasn't but a couple of years or so later that I heard that...

    Oil Filter

    Chuck: If you haven't already figured this out, the NAPA 1335 Gold oil filter is a direct screw-on replacement onto the stock Ford oil filter lug on the side of the block. No metric adapter is needed. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that NAPA's oil filters are made by Wix. Just for grins...

    Road America - Elkhart Lake July 17-20

    My wife and I made the trek to Road America last summer when we travelled from Oklahoma to Madison, WI to visit my sister and her family. The facility is really top-notch and the people there were very friendly and let us have the run of the place in our car (no on-track action, however). Once...

    Carpet door sill cardboard pieces

    I would certainly appreciate some pics of the cardboard pieces, Bob. Do the tops of the covers extend all the way under the door sill plates or do they just glue to the upper sides of the sills? I can't believe that I've never run across any of these in any of the Sunbeams I've owned. Of...

    Carpet door sill cardboard pieces

    Tony: My research into this topic found an old posting of yours on the Alpine forum where you mentioned doing that. The problem for me, however, is that I have no idea what these pieces look like and where they attach to the car in the first place. At this point, it really doesn't matter...

    Carpet door sill cardboard pieces

    Hey, guys: I've run into an interesting situation with my Tiger Mk1A. I've just discovered that there are supposed to be some kind of cardboard door sill pieces that glue onto the sills somehow to help smooth out the carpet (I guess). I've messed with Sunbeams for years now and have never...

    Garage Floor Coating/Flooring recommendations

    Mike: Michael is right; the prep work on your existing floor will absolutely determine how well any paint product will hold up. Having said that, a big difference exists between some floor coating systems. Some evidently are oil-based, while others are water-based. The basic rule of thumb...

    Successful 2182 mile rally despite exhaust valve losing clearance!

    Very impressive, Jeff!!!! That's a great-looking Alpine you've got there!! I admire you and your wife for taking on this rally in your Alpine. That spirit is what these cars are all about!!! Best of luck with the valve problem,
