Unveiled in 1965, the final MKV variant of Sunbeam’s popular Alpine sportscar was equipped with the Rootes Group's latest four-cylinder engine - a five-bearing 1725cc unit rated at 92.5bhp - which proved notably more powerful and refined than its predecessors. Further benefiting from the adoption of negative earth electrics and an alternator, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 100mph. Treated to some subtle internal / external cosmetic tweaks as well, it emerged boasting a crisper, more modern look. Only produced for three years, the Alpine MKV was quietly dropped from the Sunbeam range in 1968.

Finished in Polar White with Red upholstery, ‘TJD 709F’ was acquired by its previous keeper in 1986 and treated to a photographically documented restoration. Said to have been ‘regularly serviced and maintained’ since entering the current ownership twenty-eight years ago, the Sunbeam’s current odometer reading of 48,200 miles is believed but not warranted to represent the total covered from new. Described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ (bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment) or ‘very good’ (engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, interior trim) condition, this appealing Alpine is offered for sale with the aforementioned restoration images, sundry paperwork and MOT certificate valid until April 2022.

Vendor Condition Ratings:

Bodywork: 'Good'
Engine: 'Very Good'
Electrical Equipment: 'Good'
Paintwork: 'Good'
Gearbox: 'Very Good'
Interior Trim: 'Very Good'
