#3 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

I bought this car in May of 1978 for $600 while I lived in Burnaby. Needless to say it was in rough shape. It had no muffler, the speedometer did not work, the rag top was torn and the tires were bald. It did have a hard top (which I backed over the first day I had it).

But it ran well and hell, it was a convertible. I owned it together with the Fiat so I had a couple of really sporty cars that summer.

This car had a 1724 cc good for 92 HP. Mostly I got it for the fun factor. I sold it for $400 in the Fall.
