Beautiful Alpine Bernd! S1 Alpines are rarely seen here at any Sunbeam event as most have not been saved. What type wheels are you using?
Do you get people asking you if you are James Bond?! Eric
That must be quite an old photo.. i remember saving it off the net must be 10 years back, thought it was such a great shot of an alpine.. does it have revolite wheels on it?
The wheels are 5.5 x 13 Revos. Even not quite period style found them a good match to the grey colour & the black interior . Yes the foto is a bit dated but still like it because it was shot by a professional (he also brought the black number plates). Here is another one from a dfifferent angle and a new one from last summer with the Hardtop on.
P.S. Oh yes the filler sits lower than for the later Alpines & Tigers since the twhole fuel tank assy was different sacrificing a lot of trunk room...
They are great pics, i note you have the over riders fitted to the rear again. The early alpines are a great looking car, but for such a clean design the overridres are so ornate and large. I keep meaning to fit the SIV on style to my car..
yes I put bumper & overriders to the front -ultimately. In past I found the car would look more sporty without, but taste changed. The early overriders are big - my contribution to add more originality.
