When Sunbeam launched the Alpine sports car in 1959, it was a 2+2-seater roadster. However, the rear seats were more useful as additional luggage racks. From Series 2 onwards, an optional hardtop was introduced to meet customers’ wishes for more everyday practicality and protection from the weather. This wasn’t enough for some potential buyers. So it was decided by the British coachbuilder Thomas Harrington Coach Builders Ltd. to develop the Alpine into a fully-fledged coup\u00e9. Actually, the company was known for the production of buses. Starting in the 1950s, the company was known for the production of buses. Starting in the 1950s, the company expanded to include a car dealership with vehicles from the Rootes Group, which included the Sunbeam brand. The Harrington and Rootes families were good friends.<\/p>\n\n\n
