Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans

I caught up with this special Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans at the SOVREN Pacific Northwest Historics earlier this year. This rare grand tourer version of the Alpine (one of 250 produced) was built by Harrington coachworks between 1962-63.

Body is made of an unusual combination of metal and fiberglass 

Sunbeam Le Mans Engine
A 1.5 liter "four" with dual side-drafts carburetors rated at 93 hp provides the excitement.
