[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Looking for a boot handle and near-siderear chrome strip for a 1955 Alpine

[Mal Clark]

Hi Ben not sure if I can help with the rear chrome strips,there are two different lengths,the early Alpines with the box type front bumper,which incorperates the number plate in the bumper,had the shorter chrome strips,and the later cars with the number plate under the bumper,with the rounded type overiders,had the longer rear strips. The car in your photo,appears to be later and maybe a MK3 with that type of Trunk/boot handle,definately has the longer strips,  your car being a MK3 by you request for a trunk handle requires long strips, I will look in my parts Good luck Mal Clark.

  Hello S-T Cohorts,
  I don't post often and am embarrassed that this is a request help rather than an offer to provide.

  Martin Spurrell  (UK) is trying to put the finishing touches on a 1955 Alpine I purchased last year.
  We are just a few bits short of finishing the exterior, and I'm soliciting the membership for help sourcing them.

  (1) Boot handle (specific to the 1955 year, different than 1953). Mine is beyond re-chroming. 
  (2) The decorative chrome strip that runs along the top of the rear fender, ending adjacent to the fuel filler cap.

  I've included a photo with the chrome strip indicated.

  Thanks for any and all help. 
  (I hope to see many of you again at the AGM in July)
