Looks like a Series II to me...it's advertised as a Series I. Maybe Donna knows something about this car; she doesn't live too far from there.
This is a series 2

Just saw this thread!
Never have seen this car, did not know it was here, try and contact seller for more information. Andy seems there is an Alpine in OKC for you to check out also. Tis Spring when all the hoarded Alpines appear on Craig's list!

Yeah, Donna, I saw that one. I may try to call on it and maybe go look at it this weekend. We'll see how the time goes. If anybody needs me to lay eyeballs on it for them, just let me know.
There is something strange about this car, however. The pics in the OKC Craigslist ad are the exact same pics of a car that was for sale on Bringatrailer.com in Yelm, WA a while back. Maybe someone here in OKC bought it??? Who knows...but, if so, why did they use the same pics???

No Responce from Broken Arrow, yet!
Sent two e-mails to the car in Broken Arrow, maybe he will shock me and show up at the Cruise IN tonight!
I know of a rare car owner that found his Woolsey for sale a few months after he bought his car, yes someone had a Craig's list selling his car he just purchased a few months earlier, so these things do happen!
Buyer be aware!

Broken Arrow car's story: It was bought 3 years ago from the 2nd owner who used it as a daily driver. Current owner brought it home then drained the gas tank and left it in the garage, work and family got in the way. The engine turns by hand but it has not run since he brought it home. So anyone here on this forum interested? PM me, I still want to take a look will call the seller and make arrangements.

That's how a lot of scams work on Craig's list. I inquired about a rediculously price Boss 429 found on Craig's list and got the story about the seller having to go overseas for work and the tarrifs were too high to take the car and; well you get the idea. Searched around and found the very same car listed in several cities at the same time.

I couple of years back there was a Jaguar xk150 for sale at a low price in the Detroit Craigs list. The seller lived in Windsor, Canada and the sad story told of a widow selling the car because her husband had died and she just wanted it out of the garage. I sent an email and the seller repeated the story with added info and photos. The photos looked like a car I saw on Ebay several weeks back. Using the completed auction search I found the car but it wasn't sold and the country of origin was USA. I sent a email to the Ebay seller and he confirmed the car was not sold and was not in Canada. He was surprised when I sent him the Craigslist listing and was going to contact the seller.

Saw the Series II
If I would of started with this car instead of my bucket of rust, it would of been a whole lot easier! I meet the owner several years ago, before he got the car or just right after, first time to see the car. This is a really nice solid car, yes it needs work but getting it back on the road will not be to hard of a project. PM me for more details and questions!

While at the show today...
So all those that showed an interest today at the car show of ever wanting to own a Sunbeam Alpine, I let them know one is for sale in Broken Arrow on Craig's list. Time will tell if any are truly wanting an Alpine.
I saw the Series I not Series II and it is real not a scam, now we just need to find it a home, good solid car, needs new rubber, windscreen doors etc. most is original, upholstery tired but usable and the motor, fingers crossed that it will run like it did 3 years ago. Way to nice of a car to piece out!
