This is is the story of the Sunbeam Harringtons, its makers, its variations and the people who still love it today. To the left you will find links for each model of Harrington Alpines produced by Thomas Harrington Coach Builders Ltd, England from 1961 through 1964. What makes the Sunbeam Harringtons different? In total there were not even 400 Sunbeam Harringtons built by Thomas Harrington Ltd., on the Sunbeam Alpine Series II, Series 3 and Series IV chassis provided by Rootes Ltd, England. In addition to adding a permanent "GT" style fiberglass roof, Harrington Ltd., offered 3 different stages of George Hartwell performance tuning to the standard Series II Alpine 1.6 litre Rootes engine, as well as, custom options to meet the buyers personal tastes on at least 2 variations of the Sunbeam Harrington. This made the normally topless Sunbeam Alpine into a brilliantly styled, performance minded fast back coupe, that was exclusively tailored for the most serious of auto sporting enthusiasts!
