Corgi 1/43 Sunbeam Alpine Series II Embassy Black (VA07005)
The Alpine was launched in 1959 and has the distinction of being the first car ever to be
seen being driven on screen by a Mr James Bond. It also had an extensive roll in Get Carter
, for it was an undoubtedly attractive car. However based on the floorplan of the Hillman
Husky it was always considered softer than its rival MGs and was outsold by them; a total
of nearly 70,000 were sold in the 9 years of production. The series II modelled here
was announced in 1960, merely 15 months after the Alpine had gone on sale, and featured a
more powerful 1600cc 80BHP engine which the Alpine shared with the Sunbeam Rapier.
