Minilite My Fire: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine Series IV
The Sunbeam Alpine was Rootes Group’s small British roadster, built to compete with cars like the MGA, MGB, Triumph TRs, and Austin-Healey Sprite/Midget. Power would originally come from a 1.6-liter Rootes four-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed manual. It is not a big-power car, but it is light, simple, and properly old-school British sports car in feel…and this one has the best looking wheels ever fitted on any car –MINILITES — and the price ain’t bad.

100% of the timeless style of a Sunbeam Tiger at nearly 1/10th the ask. This is a remarkable value and I suspect I’ll eventually look back in horror for having let it go.
You could just lend it to me for a good long while and I’ll give it back when you’re ready :)
Let me edit for clarity: I’ll look back in horror for not having bought it.
