Harrington Featured

My Harrington is featured in the UK Club Publication--The Alpine Horn. It was nice to get some press for the US Alpines/Tigers in their publication. I believe the editor, Glenn Brackenridge, is looking for regular content from the US to include in their Sunbeam magazine. His email is editor@sunbeamalpine.info It is a very professional publication. Thanks Glenn.

It only took 12 years but I guess we're finally being recognized by the UK club. I recall approaching them before we started the club and they thought we were ridiculous starting another Alpine club. The chairman at the time Deryck Johnson tried to bring the two parties together but they wouldn't talk to us feeling their club satisfied all Alpine owners globally.

No hard feelings, I just find it funny we've come full circle.

Heading for Ebay this week. I am thinking the buyer will most likely NOT be a Sunbeam owner at least not from the States as all my inquiries have been from the UK or down under. Wanted to keep it in the club but want an owner more for another project--yes, partly Tiger but also another marque.

you would have to see the car in person in order to really appreciate the quality detail that has gone into this car. bill has done many things to the car that i have not seen on other cars. it's unbelievable!

This is truly a wonderful car, and I'm certain Bill's easily got into it what the base price is on offer, so it's a good value. However, the market in general is *very* soft for all classic cars, particularly for less popular makes like Sunbeam (with the exception of the Tiger, of course).

Recently the original Le Mans winning car (3000 RW) sold £64,960 ($104,065) and of course that was for the very rarest of the rare with a long, well documented and remarkable pedigree. I'd consider this the absolute high-water mark for any Harrington/Le Mans-styled Sunbeams cars.

Jan Iggbom recently had his recently restored example (though admittedly not to as high a standard as this one) on offer for €19,000 ($26,499), but I'm not sure if he's even sold it yet at that price.

I'd really like to see this car go in excess of $50,000 as I believe the craftsmanship is definitely in this car to warrant it, I'm just doubtful that we'll see many takers in this market at that price. (sadly)
