1953 Sunbeam Sport Roadster

In 1953 Sunbeam-Talbot introduced the sporty Alpine roadster to complement its existing model 90 saloon and drophead coupes. Utilizing the same reliable 2,267 cc inline four-cylinder powerplant with greater compression and horsepower, the British Alpines design was simply beautiful; featuring a louvered hood, doors without outside handles, and a leather interior with bucket seats that removed for comfortable seating at elegant picnics, polo matches and other outdoor events. All of these stylish components imparted an obvious grand touring, if not downright sporty character

Sunbeam-Talbot commissioned industrial designer Raymond Lowey, credited with the design of the coke bottle, Shell Oil logo, and Studebaker Avanti, to design a new rally car.
