[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] early Alpines with/without arm rests.....????????

[Martin Spurrell]

hi ray & all,

              if the car came to you with parts missing, i would understand you having to make do with what you have. but i would never dream of deliberately leaving bits off. i always use the armrests to pull the doors shut,i am quite large,(17st) and they dont get in my way whilst driving.when all is said and done it's your car so its your choice but i would urge you not to throw them away.keep them with the car for sometime in the future. alpine parts are like goldust and oneday someone might say oh no the armrests are missing.

             best wishes, martin spurrell.

hello all,

 

in my boxes of bits and pieces i've come across some original armrests for my '54 Alpine..........

since i'm having my interior redone completely, i need to decide what to do with the armrests........

since i've had the car they have NOT been installed - just been sitting in boxes.

i've seen restored Alpines both with, and without, the armrests.........

To me they look a bit cumbersome when installed - but i have no way of knowing what they are like when installed........

 

so - all of you who have them - are they in the way/cumbersome?  should i have them reinstalled (NO, my car is not an accurate restoration - for those of you who do not remember, i am one of the people who has a Toyota 22R engine and 5-speed in my car)..........

 

any thoughts?

 

tks, ray
