| The Series 'C' was introduced in October 1962 with Le Mans production still underway. The Series 'C' was a very similar car to the Le Mans with the main difference being it retained the tail fins. Advertised as an improved version of the original Harrington Alpine, the opening rear hatch, and newer optional accessories made it a little more elegant than the original version. |

| Still built on the Alpine Series II body, these cars saw very low numbers due to the end of Series II production and introduction of the new Alpine Series 3 in January of 1963. The series 3 cars had a different windscreen rake and the original hardtop did not fit. Approximately 20 of these rare Series 'C' Alpines would make it through production before the need to change roof design to match the Alpine Series 3 windshield design. The Series 'C' is identified by the tall fins, opening hatchback and Alpine Series II body. |
