PHOTOGRAPH - I took this picture at a classic car event in August 2019 at Slinfold near Horsham.

HISTORY - The Sunbeam Rapier was produced by the now defunct Rootes Group from 1955 to 1976 although the vehicles produced after 1967 were a radically different shape and should be considered a different car. They were available as a 2 door saloon or convertible (the fastback belonged to the post 1967 era) and were the mainstay of Rootes competition endeavours until the arrival of the Hillman Imp.
This vehicle I believe to be a mark 3a that was introduced in 1960 had a 1592cc 4 cylinder and although slower than its predecessor had extensive work done on the engine improving its strength with a five bearing crank shaft as well as fitting an uprated anti-roll bar to improve the handling.
