Description
WITH HEAVY HEART BUT FAILING HEALTH. “MABEL” IS NOW FOR SALE. WELL KNOWN “SUNBEAM TALBOT ALPINE REGISTER” WITH ‘HERITAGE CERTIFICATE’. CAR BASED ON THE SUNNY ISLE OF WIGHT. UNIQUE AND ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL SUNBEAM MKIIIs ON THE ROAD, MABEL’S PREVIOUS OWNER LOVED HER FOR 48 YEARS. MY INTENTION WAS TO “SIMPLY RECOMMISSION” HER, WHICH I DID, ALTHOUGH ON THE WAY, THINGS (AS ALWAYS) DID GET CARRIED AWAY RATHER.

THE DYNAMO, REGULATOR, DISTRIBUTOR, STARTER MOTOR, WIPER MOTOR AND MANY OTHER ANCILLARIES ARE ALL ORIGINAL ITEMS, RENOVATED AS NECESSARY. ALSO FULL CHASSIS WAXOYL, INTERIOR RETRIMMING & NEW CARPETS AND AN ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP CONVERSION. NOT FORGETTING ORIGINAL LUCAS SFT & SLR 700 LAMPS AND CORRECT SUNBEAM BADGE BAR.
