Issue 2 SUMMER 2002 The Magazine of the - The Sunbeam Alpine ...

Secretary - Scott Christie
With Invasion IV now just around the corner we
continue to worry over the little details, hoping
everything has been accounted for. Weather
permitting we will have yet another fantastic
get-together. I truly believe our casual, relaxed
approach is the way to go. This year’s rally will
be a real test of driver’s skill and eyesight. Be
prepared for a wonderful afternoon drive
through picturesque farmland with challenging
clues all along the way. This will be like no
other rally at previous Invasions.
If you are aware of other non-Alpine, but Rootes Group-related vehicles
in your area, why not encourage that person to bring their car to the
Invasion? I’d love to see a Humber or two, or perhaps a few Rapiers
and Imps thrown in for good measure. Let them know they are
welcome, and if you own one of these, find another driver and bring
both cars!
I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to sell my Series 3 GT project.
I’ve been bitten by a car bug of a different sort and will explain more
later. In the meantime, if you’re interested in purchasing a rust-free,
completely dipped GT body with all panels, loads of NOS and nice used
parts, rebuilt front end and rear, etc. give me a call or shoot me an
email. For convenience sake I can deliver all the parts to the Invasion so
you can take them home. The body is currently being prepped at Doug
Jennings’ place of business and will be on view during the Invasion. So
bring your cash and let’s deal.
Get your cars running, get out the maps, and make your final plans for
attending this year’s Invasion – you’ll be glad you did.
Cheers,
Scott Christie
