No kidding?seen pictures of 1964 With fins and Without. "Series 3" must be the "determining factor". LOL
do you know how many times I've been told 1964 did NOT have fins ?!
OK, I guess it makes no difference with mine anyway being it's converted to ford 302/ C4. just did not want any problems in the future. It'a a '64 sunbeam ALGER. LOLFonz, With Alpine Series, there is no actual "year" associated with the specific model. The only year associated with it is what your local title bureau assigns to it, usually the year it was first titled. Quite unlike US auto models where you can distinguish a 57 Chevy from a 58 and a 59, etc., the Series V, for example, was produced from Aug 1965 thru Jan 1968. But there is no such thing as a '65 Sunbeam Alpine or 68 Sunbeam Alpine. Your title may say so, but any such info is not useful in identifying parts, asking questions, or solving problems. All Series V produced over that 2+ year span were pretty much identical with minor changes identified specifically by VIN number. I cannot imagine any value in using the year noted on the title in any discussions, parts search, or valuations. In fact, using that year designation will most likely lead to confusion and likely errors. Just FYI, I have a couple of Sunbeam Alpine sales brochures and they have absolutely no reference to any year. In fact the Series V brochures do not even mention Series V, just "New" "Sunbeam Alpine" "now with 1725 engine". But they all came with badge plates that says "Series V".
