He doesn’t restore anything, he just pays others to make him look good.

I had a blue Series V, FUF 933D. It was a lovely car in it's day especially suited to a man about town. Wish I still had it (and could get in and out of it 😢).

I owned two Alpines in my youth. A 66 Series 5 and later in the mid 70’s a Series 4. Fun cars.

Absolutely perfect imho Drew and Paul have impeccable taste and know how to bring out the best, of what’s hiding under the ugly.

The REAL & VERY clever change is paint the wheels black & white rather than as per the factory finish of white only. Never seen that done before & makes the entire car pop!

I'd paint the top white again!

absolutely 100% looks fkn dreadful

Nice Car the Dach & Steering Wheel restored well.

The car featured in the sixties TV series 'Hong Kong' starring the Australian actor Rod Taylor.

I drove an Alpine home for a car dealer around 50 years ago. He paid £47.50 for it and sold it as soon as he arrived home for £95, despite the black smoke coming into the cabin that almost choked me 😀. Coincidentally I owned an A-H Sprite with the registration GAM345D.

Wow beautiful car 😍😍

I almost bought a sunbeam tiger with a v8 as a teenager in the 90s. Also im in Canada 🇨🇦 so it's probably even more rare here

Good one, nice work !

This one is spot-on - they really hit the spot.

Drew restores? I've yet to see him clean a headlight let alone restore something.

THAT WOULD BE "SUNBEAM ALPINE NUMBNUTS"!!🤔

I owned one. Fun car, Lucas electrics proved "The Prince of Darkness" was how they worked and not just a pejorative nickname...

Nice job, looks excellent and quintessentially British.

Changes look good for the car, but not too sure on the black roof...personally would of had it white.

They were delivered with a black roof. I had one identical to this one. Bought in 1968 whilst serving in BAOR ( Germany) only difference was my car was left hand drive. The dash on the alpine were all delivered in black.( Not sure about the tiger, as this car in the video is not a tiger ) Rattling engine , rattling gearbox. The clutch has a carbon thrust bearing ( disaster) Most of the replacement parts were the same as a Hillman husky- minks very thirsty. To sum up . Good looking car but crap quality And bad handling, a disaster on the German autobahn

Amazing on all these car shows they buy the car so cheap that don't happen in real life...

Drew has a very good eye for design

I thought D registration was 1966? Mine was RAR 446 D a 1725 Alpine...

I have owned 4 including a 1965 tiger.which I sold for financial reasons

Wesley Pegden could help ya with that

7:38 why's the dashboard have such a wavy reflection...

I noticed that too. It seems they hacked it with the belt sander. And probably loaded a number of coats of lacquer on in quick succession which would pull when curing. I've done a few dash boards myself and slowly does it nicely.

I was surprised to see that too. I make and restore dashboards, mainly for Triumphs and I was very surprised to see the guys go at it with a handheld belt sander! 😱 I build up a number of high build primer coats that are flatted back with long blocks to give a perfectly flat finish for the final gloss coats. I've had wavy finishes in the past and have learned where I went wrong and corrected.

Nice enough model the GT but the lack of integral folding roof a pain & will always negate its value. Better to be without a fancy wood dash & steering wheel (both of which can be retrofitted) & have a soft top - after all it's supposed to be a sports car not a coupe.

As a bodyman of 30yrs, I’ve delt with a lot of Drew’s type. They’re called whole salers here in the States. They buy a vehicle and then beat up the repair shops to get there cars fixed up for very little money so there profit margins remain high. Kinda sickening😐

Roof is awful as are the wheels.. Wired would have been far better

Black wheels just looked wrong

I cannot stand Drew, he is just so up himself. Paul knows his stuff for sure, but why he has to pair up with someone who knows a lot about antiques but sod all about cars I don’t know.

You lost yourself 50 bucks.

Sunbeam Alpine 🙄

Love him or dislike

Dreadful, awful lash-up. The wheels on the car were very good and the roof needed to stay the same colour as the car to reduce the apparent height - the Alpine looks a bit dumpy being a copy of a '55 to 57 Littlebird, but shorter. This Drew character got it all wrong.
