The basic facts: it's a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine. It hasn't run in 20 years.

Last year's pictures have moved here, with the even older pictures over here and here


This year's goal is to get the car in to be dipped. Jeff called around, and the dipping place wanted him to have the undercoating off the thing beforehand, so there's some scraping going on. I have some action photos, for your edification. This is the pile of gunk recently scraped off:

Yuck

And this is some areas that have already been scraped:

   



Update from 23 July. There's been an addition to the family. See, Jeff saw an ad last week for an Alpine just like the original one, except more together and such, and so it arrived today. I have pictures galore for you.

Here it is arriving, and parked in the back:

The new car is named Sophie  Oooh pretty  She needs a paint job  There are some cracked windows, too

Some front and rear shots, plus views of the inside:

Front view  Rear view  Looks dirty in there  Kinda death-trappy, huh?

And the requisite engine shots:

Ooooh  Ahhhh
