About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Older restoration in the same colors to the one Grace Kelly drove in To Catch a Thief. Dull chrome. Older paint with a few chips. Uneven gaps. Tiny dent in the hood. Lightly worn leather and carpets. A solid older restored early Alpine.

Market commentary

Not to be confused with the later, Ford Thunderbird-inspired Alpine that eventually spawned the Tiger, the earlier Sunbeam Alpines are a little frumpier and quite a bit less sporty, but they are rarer and command surprisingly high prices. This result, which would go a long way to buying a decent Tiger, is about right for this early Alpine and the age of its restoration.
