Sunbeam Alpines remain one of the most recognised and popular English Sports cars still on the road.

The Sunbeam Alpine cemented its celebrity pedigree as the first Bond Car in Dr No [identical model and colour to this one] driven by Sean Connery then featured in Butterflied 8 driven by Elizabeth Taylor among other film appearances and was endorsed and promoted by Jack Brabham as the first affordable 100 MPH sports car when launched.
