Chrome side strip suggests Tiger. If not, it's Alpine S5 without SUNBEAM letters along grille top. |

How about a Sunbeam Alpine Harrington Le Mans? https://richardlangworth.com/sunbeam-harrington |

New info on Tiger naming in Europe - "By 1965 Chrysler’s growing corporate control over branding and distribution is apparent in European marketing decisions. Whilst evident that the MK1 Tiger was sold in the French, German and Swiss markets exclusively as the Alpine 260, it may also have been sold as the “Alpine V8” in Germany & Austria. For the Geneva Motor Show of 1965 the second work's rally Tiger - ADU 312B - was rebadged as an Alpine 260 prior to going on the stand.. Problem was trademark protection for Panhard Tigre in France & Messerschmitt Tiger in Germany, so this Mk1 was Alpine 260. Not a Harrington which was fastback (in various shapes), just a normal factory hardtop. |
