Super Clean Front Grille For Early Alpine Or Tiger on 2040-parts.com
Sunnyvale, California, United States
|
I purchased this back in the 90's to be used on my late model Alpine/Tiger, 1967 to be precise. I knew, at the time, that this grille was from an earlier model, perhaps a Series I, II and/or III. I'm not precisely sure. I considered making it fit on my 67 but it was ever so slightly different. I would have needed to modify the grille and it is in such good condition, I really didn't want to risk damaging it - so I decided to make it available to someone who's restoring an earlier model - perhaps you?
You simply cannot find these anymore! They're impossible to locate, and if you do, they're trashed. Look closely at this one - it's truly clean and straight. As you can see from the photos, it's super clean. The steel brackets that hold it together do have some surface rust on them, but it cleans up easily. The stainless surface is amazingly clean for a part that was built in the early sixties and used for multiple decades on a running Sunbeam Alpine or Tiger. This grille will work on both! Please note that one of the small round clips is missing. But anyone who is serious about buying and using this in their restoration will most likely want to dismantle the entire grille, clean up both the stainless and steel brackets, and reassemble with stainless clips which can be easily found these days. Please review the photos and ask questions before bidding. I'm in the process of reducing my very large cache of Sunbeam parts, and when you bid and win, it's yours - I'm afraid I cannot accept returns. I'm sure you can understand. I'm offering this with free domestic (US only) shipping, so you don't have to worry about those costs, which will be significant. Also know, that I will professionally pack this to arrive in it's current excellent condition! Thanks for checking this out and best of luck! BB |

Why this year's UAW-Detroit 3 talks don't matter
Thu, 08 Sep 2011Here's what you need to know about the current UAW contract talks with the Detroit 3: They don't really matter. Oh, sure, agreements must be reached and contracts signed. But some commentators would have you believe the Detroit 3's future competitiveness hinges on their ability to stand up to the UAW in this year's negotiations.
New Jaguar XJC – the Coupe
Tue, 14 Jul 2009Jaguar already has a new Jaguar XJC on the drawing board – a coupe version of the new Jaguar XJ The last Jaguar XJC was in the ’70s, and was built on the SWB version of the Series II Jaguar XJ. In fact – by the time Jaguar got round to launching the XJC on to the market in 1975 – it was the only XJ that had the SWB, as all XJ saloons had moved over to the LWB as standard. A glorious-looking car – especially in ‘New Avengers’ guise as driven by Steed – it was plagued by the problems that beset British Leyland at the time.
