This 1967 Sunbeam Alpine was acquired by the seller in 2016 and subsequently fitted with a Ford-sourced 2.8-liter V6 and five-speed manual transmission. The car was refinished in orange with white stripes following bodywork and modifications, and equipment includes a 4.22 gear set, a removable white hardtop, 15″ Rota wheels, front disc brakes, Spax shocks, electric power steering, and a four-point roll bar. The interior is trimmed in white, gray, and orange, and the Miata-sourced bucket seats are equipped with RJS harnesses. Additional features include a waterfall dashboard, a JVC head unit, Speedhut instrumentation, and an MGW short shifter. This Alpine is now offered with service records, spare parts, refurbishment photos, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.

Bodywork under current ownership involved removing the bumpers, revising the front fascia, and modifying the soft top well, while the fenders were rolled, the gaps were sealed, and the car was refinished in the Ford-sourced shades of Omaha Orange and Performance White, per the seller. The floor pans were replaced under prior ownership. The white hardtop is missing the gasket rail retainer, the doors require adjustment, and the windshield washer system has been removed. The seller also notes there are paint chips, a cover for the door handle is missing, and a crack on the front nose requires repair.

White 15″ six-spoke Rota wheels are wrapped in 195/55 Khumo Ecsta tires. Spax adjustable shocks and revised springs are fitted, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. Electric power steering is installed, and the seller reports play in the steering.

The cabin houses Miata-sourced bucket seats that are equipped with RJS harnesses and trimmed in white, gray, and orange upholstery. An orange-finished four-point roll bar is fitted, and carbon-fiber-look trim and orange piping accent the waterfall dashboard. Additional features include a heater, a JVC head unit, and an MGW shifter in addition to speakers mounted in the kick panels, USB outlets, and a Jegs ignition switch.

A Grant steering wheel sits ahead of Speedhut instrumentation including a 120-mph GPS speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, while auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center of the dashboard. The digital odometer shows 1,300 miles, which is said to represent the miles traveled under current ownership. True mileage is unknown. An aftermarket horn switch is installed.

The revised trunk area houses a recessed Jaz Products fuel cell and a relocated battery.

The 2.8-liter Ford V6 was installed under prior ownership and equipped with headers, an electric fuel pump, a dual fuel filter system, and electronic ignition. The seller reports that a header bolt has been cross-threaded.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford-sourced T5 five-speed manual transmission and a rear end with a 4.22 gear set. Hardened keys have been installed. The dual exhaust system is fitted with an X-pipe, glasspack mufflers, and dual slash-cut tips.

A selection of photos showing stages of the modifications is presented in the gallery below.

Service records and spare parts will accompany the car.

The North Carolina identification number is shown above, and the sequence matches the VIN listed on the current Colorado title.
