    Alpine model cars and stuff

    John, Do I see a black Harrington Le Mans in your grouping of Sunbeam collector items? John Horsman Harrington V8 on my lift. Getting a two car trailer ready to haul it and my highly restored Tiger (in photo) to the big car show events back East. Cheers Jerry

    2026 SAOCA 25th Anniversary Invasion! Back to our Rootes!

    My first invite to an Invasion was from Ian Spencer in 2004 after my recent purchase of the Promotional Harrington Le Mans. Ian said, "Come out to Dayton, Ohio and we will show you a good time." I flew into Kentucky, rented a car and drove up to Dayton. The Air Force Museum was a wonderful...

    Vroom Vroom HLM V8

    I see you live in Boston. I most likely will trailer my HLM V8 to Boston before I go to LimeRock. I would be open to seeing your HLM project.

    Which Speedo Cable and where do I find one ?

    To eliminate all concerns about fitment and gearing accuracy. You could purchase a GPS speedometer. I had to do this with my Opel GT.

    What's with the Sunbeam sales market?

    For most of us, sharing our passion for the automobile elevates the euphoric feelings we enjoy. My best experience was at our local British car club's ABFM. While displaying my Promotional Harrington Le Mans I noticed a mom being pulled toward my HLM by a young boy. The focused intention was...

    What's with the Sunbeam sales market?

    Fortunately most of my collection has always been about historical significance and rarity. It bodes well when the buyer may find an elevated interest because it was the first one built or it has Carol Shelby's personal 289 engine installed at the Ford Advance Vehicle (FAV) shop in Slough, UK or...

    eBay 1969 Alpine

    I probably can make more room. This would complete my modern era Sunbeam collection to an even dozen. Right, like I need one more.

    Harrington in Dayton OH

    The plate B9106893 is what I posted above. It is assumed to go with the Stephen Morris's HLM that burned up around 2008. It may have been in the parts that Reg got from Morris around 2009-2010. What is interesting is the other plate B9104292. That is an early number for the HLM registry and...

    Harrington in Dayton OH

    Reg and I had an extensive exchange, over a year ago, about the possibility of him having the "Red" Road & Track (June, 1962) cover car. Reg had newspaper clippings from Canada suggesting such a link. My conclusion was Reg's gorgeous Red #39 colored Harrington Le Mans (HLM) was not the Blue #53...

    What's with the Sunbeam sales market?

    I agree about the stick shift issue. And yet, three years ago one of my friends asked me to teach her 16 year old son how to drive a stick shift. Using my 2002 Miata SE her son and I proceeded to spend the afternoon with lessons on driving a stick shift. Every time I see her son the topic always...

    What's with the Sunbeam sales market?

    Too funny and so factual Warren. That is truth at its best. We do pay a price for driving something that is like being with a celebrity figure in a restaurant. You can barely enjoy the meal. Rambling on, as an expert, about pricing trends is boring. Knowing how people relate to our hobby...

    What's with the Sunbeam sales market?

    Like baseball cards. If your car has a strong provenance it will always be of interest. Two of my eight Sunbeams fall into that category. As for the other 6. I made excellent purchases and what with other projects that went out the door my dollar investment is minimal. My labor investment is...
