Deciding to not be those guys.

So dad and I have decided it’s time to let the Alpine go. While not officially for sale yet it will be soon. We are pulling everything out to know all that is there. These pics are the start to give people an idea.

You have an RHD steering box, that's gotta be worth something.

Those guys who say I’ll restore it someday and never do. We’ve dragged our feet since 89. It’s time to move on.

Is it really a RHD car or is the image reversed?

Story is that the car used to race a long time back.

A long time ago (1980) I came into possession of a rusty SIV GT BW35. Put in storage just because I thought it had some value.

Then back in 2007 I got the bug to do a V6..... from that time till now a lot has happened.

I have used the GT as a Guinea Pig for the V6 Components I design as well as other items to help keep the Alpines on the Road. All of which led to the late body work getting done.

My Blue Boy V6 took about 4 years to fully restore after being stored from '86 t o 2007. With three other Alpines on the list to get done I do a little bit on them each day or try to.

Do a bit each day or week and you will start to see
fruition.

Don't give up on your Project, you can accomplish the restoration and have a nice Sunbeam Alpine to drive proudly.

It’s great when things start coming together, seems like it never will. I’ve had some projects that have taken years (feels like a lifetime). Your V6 kit has worked great and saved work. Your GT is coming along great, Al got you over the paint stage. Will be interesting to see how your V6 upgrades work on your other projects.
