I think the LAT hood looks great -- and sometimes I wish I had one on my car -- but it won't buy you much more underhood room.

You know, my dad'd had one of these back in the 60's and i remember seeing his face when we sat in the honda S2000 ( reobtaining that youthful feel of a roadster ) and i could clearly see he wanted his sunbeam back. and then recently when i was watching Dr.No and saw sean connery cruising in one it made me think. He doesn't want to rebuild cars that im interested in working on like a muscle car perhaps, or working on a tuner car maybe. not such typical things i suppose he is interested in, but i really think he'd appreciate it if i found a sunbeam alpine online that he and i could buy and work on. I haven't had much luck but if anyone knows where i may be able to find one ( outside of england, lol ) please let me know. Thanks!

If you are interested in Alpines, you should start by visiting sunbeamalpine.org, the website of the Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club. It is a great site for Alpine enthusiasts, full of helpful information and helpful people. You should also keep an eye on eBay. Alpines appear there quite regularily. Finally, if you are interested in something more powerful than a stock Alpine, you will find lots of information on the site re: Alpine V6 conversions. Ford 2.8 V6 engines fit very nicely in the Alpine (there is a conversion kit available), and give you a car said to have almost as much power as a Tiger, and superior handling.
