Old Malvernian
Anyone remember this used car lot. They sold sports cars and American models. In 1969 I traded in my Triumph Vitesse convertible for a Sunbeam Harrington. This was an Alpine Le Mans with a Harrington body.
The reg. no. was 692 DLO and by chance last year I Googled this number and found that it had only recently been scrapped with lots of the parts sold on eBay. Below is a photo from a Harrington restorers website showing the car just before it was scrapped. www.harringtonalpine.org
I loved that car, but it didn't love me. I drove it into the back of a Ford Zephyr at the junction where the Old Walsall Road meets the Walsall Road at Great Barr ... the Zephyr stopped ... I didn't ... Doh! I had it repaired and sold it to someone from Malt Mill Lane, Halesowen.
