Sprite Alpine 4SB - does it exist?

[aldo]

In the December PC magazine there is a short article on the new models at the NEC, and it mentions the new "Sprite Alpine 4SB with transverse island bed and end washroom".

Now, as I fancied upgrading from our 3-year-old Alpine, I thought I would check this out ... but I can find no mention of it on the Swift website, or anywhere else on the web for that matter.

Does anyone know of such a model, did anyone see it at the NEC, or would someone from PC like to comment on a possible error?

Sir Gab,
That's a Major not an Alpine.

Good spot! Unfortunately it was a typo that crept in because the writer of the story had just finished a Sprite Alpine test the day before. It should have said Major 4SB. Apologies for any confusion. A correction will go in the next issue.

Thank goodness, I thought I was going barmy when I couldn't find it on the web!
Any idea when the Alpine article is coming out?

Also in the article on the Major 4SB, in the text it speaks of a "three burner gas hob with electric hotplate" whilst in the summing up it only mentions three burner hob. The latter , I think, is the case. Also not mentioned is the fact that the shower is not plastic lined. Seems like a decent van though for the price.
