This 1960 1592cc Sunbeam Alpine Series 2 has been owned by the vendor for nearly four years; the previous owner bought it in August 1972. Thus just two owners (since DVLA computerisation) are shown on the V5C, although there were more previous to this as a continuation green log book is in the paperwork. The car is finished in the same Lake Blue colour scheme as the car driven by Sean Connery's James Bond in 1962's Doctor No. The vendor describes it as a very solid car that is running and driving really well, with working overdrive. It has also had a brand new soft-top recently fitted, along with new door cards, tyres and exhaust. The car was registered in November 1960 and is showing 76,148 miles on its odometer. There's no record of an MoT back to 2005, when online test records began; however, as an historic vehicle, the Sunbeam no longer requires annual testing. 

History with the Sunbeam includes a period brochure, the current V5C and previous ones, the old green logbook and some invoices.
