From TIGEROOTES at aol.com Sun Mar 27 19:26:02 2011 From: TIGEROOTES at aol.com (TIGEROOTES at aol.com) Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 22:26:02 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Alpines] TV Sighting: two Alpines! Message-ID: I was working in the shop this afternoon and my girlfriend called me in to watch a TV program on RTV (retro TV network). It was an episode of It Takes A Thief and she sighted two Sunbeam Alpines in it. >From what I saw (joining the show in progress) there was a red Series 5 with wire wheels and a large (typical) gap from the top of the front tire to the fender (common to Series 5's alone) and an early Series Alpine, I base on seeing white-needled gauges on its dashboard. The red car appears briefly at the beginning of the show: later, the early Alpine with a Japanese woman driving 'chases' the late series car with Alexander Mundy driving for about 6-7 minutes, mid-show. Oddly, the early car doesn't arrive at the end of the 'persuit' until several minutes after the late car arrives. Here is the episode synopsis and other details. Jim Leach Pacific tiger Club Seattle --------------------------------------------- Season 2, Episode 9: A Case of Red Turnips 26 November 1968 Mundy is ordered to attend a foreign film festival and steal the only copy of an avant-garde motion picture. The movie's director accidentally filmed eleven American spies making a drop at a location behind the Iron Curtain and if the film is premiered the agents will all soon be captured or dead.

Message-ID: <4c6a4.2cddcba9.3ac3439a@aol.com> As I wrote before, I missed most of the episode but here's an update from Dick Sanders: ----------------------------------------------- Jim, Thanks for the heads up. You can watch the episode on Hulu.com. The extended Alpine sequence is just after the 2nd commercial break - denoted by the 2nd small dot on the progress bar. Notice the interior shots. Although he is driving the red Alpine and she the white (TR4 or ???, but not an Alpine), when they show the cars' interiors, they swap cars. It really shows in the very last car shot, when she pulls her extra gun from under the dash of the white car, it's a Series V dashboard. They may have swapped engine sounds as well, but not consistently.
