The Alpine Marque - The Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club of America

Bob tells me that in all the years that he has owned his Harrington, he has
never seen another like it until mine. He and I both agree that this event
could quite possibly be the first time in American history that two finned
Harrington Alpines have ever been together in one place.
Joining Bob’s Carnival Red Harrington Alpine was my Wedgewood Blue
Harrington Alpine and two Carnival Red Harrington Le Mans cars, one
owned by Jan Servaites and the other by myself. A fine turn out of
Harringtons... wouldn’t you say?
There was plenty of time to talk and relax in the cool air conditioning of the
local Tipp City establishment “Bullies” during the 11:00 lunch. Everyone
rounded up and drove their Alpines in as a group, which is always a lot of
fun. I think we even managed to stop some traffic on the way there too!
Bullies is a “Sports” bar type of place that has burgers, beer, and hot
wings. It was a great place for us to gather and we all enjoyed the food
which quickly made it to the tables.
Mike Phillips had an afternoon challenge waiting for those who dared to
attempt it. Waiting for everyone back at the event site was the obstacle
course. This event was designed to test not only your driving skills, but
ABOVE: Two early Harrington Alpines together for the first time. It’s
not known if there have ever been two or more of these rare Alpines
togetheron American soil before.
