It all started with a Sunbeam Alpine. I was a teenager and the car was a year older than me. The Alpine was a parts car that belonged to a co-worker of my father’s. We retrieved the car from a cow pasture and started an amateur restoration. Being a parts car, quite a few parts were missing. We acquired a used drive line from another Alpine and after nearly 2 years of hard work and mowing grass to fund the project, the car was one the road. I drove the Alpine all through high school and college and it served me well for many years and many miles. Interest in British cars continued to grow and I worked on various marques over the years, including MG, Triumph, Austin Healey and Jaguar. The Sunbeam was eventually sold (after 13 years of use) to be replaced by my current car, a '74 Triumph TR6. My wife has a 1963 Triumph Herald that is a source of endless entertainment. |
