car
cobrakidz,
the car started out as a sunbeam lemans but i must say he has done many neat mods to this car. i saw it at SUNI 5. the paint is unique. they were converted alpines built by harrington coachworks. there were 250 of these cars built and like the tiger were out sourced to another company for the conversion. the top and rear of the car is a fiberglass unit bonded to the lower section of the rear fenders. over a period of roughly 3 years a total of about 400 harrington conversions were built. the lemans was the only harrington conversion built that was sold by rootes dealers. the original 1592 cc engine had modifications done by hartwell engineering to increase the horse power. they also had several other mods done to the interior including micro cell seats, a folding rear seat back rest, wood grain dash,etc. we owners have the HARRINGTON OWNERS SOCIETY which is world wide. the registry has 100+ cars listed out of the original 250. the wife and i own 3 lemans. we are the second owners of two of the three. the red car shown on my photobucket was bought new in texas for 4200.00 in december of 1962. they are great cars to drive even in stock configuration.
