    sunalp (Steve) does great work! I have a set of his rebuilt calipers and they are way better than new. And early Alpine calipers are getting hard to find now.

    Todd and I helped to set up the car show field this morning. 35+ Sunbeam spaces and room for more. Over 100 other British cars will be there too. Bring your shorts and sun block as it will be sunny skies and near 90 degrees! Safe travels to all.

    Sad to say but we have lost 3 long time Sunbeam friends in the last 4 months. Bob Webb, Bill Blue, and Judy Sharkey. I will have a memory board in the hospitality room at the hotel if anyone has photos they would like to add to it. I miss them all.

    The block of rooms at our host hotel has been sold out and time has expired so they can't add more rooms to the block. You can still get a room at the host hotel but it will cost a little more. Don't call the national reservations phone number-use this number 803-957-5000. And get your...

    OK-we are almost a month away from the Invasion! Todd and I met yesterday to make plans. We have 12 Sunbeams registered so far and figure we will again have around 30 Sunbeams at the show. Early registration ends on March 22 so after that and at the gate it will cost $45. Get those hotel rooms...

    Bill Blue

    You could count on Bill and Barb to attend the Invasion each Spring and the United in the Fall-usually with a Sunbeam they had driven there. We always enjoyed talking to them and sharing Sunbeam stories. Here is a photo of Bill in the hospitality/swap meet room at a recent Invasion. Lots of...

    That has to be Tiger Tom's old race car. The wheels and orange stripe on the bonnet give it away. I will send this to Tom to see what he says....

    Bob Webb RIP

    Bob Webb passed away on January 26th, 2025. He contributed so much information on this forum and several others in order to help anyone with Sunbeam questions. Yes he did appear to be a gruff grizzly bear at times but he had a big heart and he would do anything for family and friends. I was...

    The Alpine Project: A Restoration - Restoring my steering wheel

    Thanks for the best review of our steering wheel hub repair kit I have ever read! The "outside of eBay price" to SAOCA club members is $375 and that includes the USPS shipping and insurance to USA addresses. The eBay price is $400+shipping +sales tax.......

    I did not make the plastic handle caps-that was someone else who no longer supplies them.

    Can't figure out how to donate (renew)

    Dale I just mailed your calendar this week. Remember, Canadian Postal workers were on strike for over a month. And then it was two weeks before the US Post Office would accept mail going to Canada. So I was finally able to mail calendars to our 15 Canadian members..... Enjoy it!
