Info

In the United States at the time of this writing there are 4 Harrington Alpines, 1 series ‘D’ and an unknown number of LeMans. It’s been very hard for me to get a count on the LeMans because there is always a new one popping up somewhere. I alone have 4 sitting in my shop at this time, and I can place my hands on about 10 more without much effort. There is a total of about 70 surviving today. I would guess that about half of the LeMans production would end up in the United States. It’s important that the facts regarding the Harrington Alpines are documented and correct. Since most of the Harrington production records were destroyed, it’s very tough to place all the pieces together. Above is a copy of a very rare Harrington build sheet. This identifies the serial number, registration number and special equipment as fitted to the car. Every Harrington Alpine produce would have had a copy of this build sheet. Too bad the companies copies were all destroyed. PAGE 14 The Alpine Marque ISSUE #9
Today we must rely on paper documentation to set the facts from the fiction. Along with copies of build sheets we have been fortunate enough to find copies of letters like the one provided to us by Bob Avery. Bob purchased the Theiodoli Sebring Harrington race car shortly after the race in 1963. This priceless letter below was his response from Harrington Ltd after a request for parts.
