Description
Sunbeam Alpine Series IV (1964)
Meet IVY , named after her 7I VHY number plate (included in sale).
IVY came off the Coventry production line in February 1964, making her the grand old age of 62 years old.
She had a full 'nut & bolt' restoration 20 years ago & retains her original matching engine & chassis numbers.
12, 604 Sunbeam Series IV were produced between 1964 & 1965 - and only 1, 350 Sunbeams in total (Series 1-5) are still in existence today.
The Sunbeam Alpine was one of the first Bond cars. A powder blue series II was driven by Sean Connery in Dr. No , putting the vehicle 'on the road' of car desirability.
The Series IV saw the Sunbeam's famous fins that were so prominent in Series I-3 get cut down , as well as getting a new front grill, with crentally placed horizontal bar & oval centre badge replacing the louvred slat design.
The Sunbeam Tigers were made between the Series IV & V.
Popular in the States as well as the UK , Sunbeam Alpines are now sought after classic cars.
IVY lives in Sussex , is garaged , is a lovely deep red with light beige hood, drives beautifully, has overdrive in 3rd & 4th, sounds great, comes with various spares including 4 original wheels & is a great example of this desirable brand. She has covered 91, 000 miles in 64 years (1, 500 miles / annum).
Genuine reason for sale which will be explained. Reluctant sale.
