Since purchasing this car in late June, I have seen more and more bits of "stuffing" falling out of the seats.

    E Brake repair

    Hello all, Well on the second weekend of owning my 1966 Alpine, my big butt hit the e brake lever. The brake dropped all the way down and now will not engage at all. Being 90 degrees and sunny here in LA, I chose to drive my new toy rather than spend a couple of hours under it. Anything I...

    When a Brit meets a Pole

    Hello again, Been without a Sunbeam in my life for over 25 years. Last weekend, got this 1966 Series 5 as an early birthday present. Seems very complete and mostly stock. And the lovely addition of a dent where the previous owner did not put on the parking break and it rolled. Any...
