Sunbeam Alpine GT

It's June 2007, it's pouring with rain and with the help of my old mate Trevor, we've managed to get the old wreck home with the aid of a tow bar loaned to us by the ever helpful guys, Roger and Andy at Monkfish Performance down the road in Great Horwood.

It's all a bit early to tell what the old car is really like, but I have a feeling that although it may appear to be a green mossy heap with holey floors, it is surprisingly sound in the important areas of the inner and outer sills as the door gaps are just as they were when it left the Coventry factory in 1967. What's more it's incredibly original.

Anyway, I'll stoke up the old Hasselblad and get a few snaps going soon and start a another on line restoration to keep you entertained as I try to bring the old girl (June is the name, apparently) back to it's original factory condition. No mods on this one, it's going to be rock stock, even to the ridiculously narrow tyres, chrome hub caps and wheel trims.

I'd better roll my sleeves up and turf the poor old Road Runner out of the Supershed then...well it is supposed to be summer...oh, and here's a shot of what it should look like, when I've finished, but without the Scandanavian registration and the steering wheel on the right side.
