1969 Sunbeam Rapier. Off the road for 30 years. Shakedown run.

Discovered in a shed with bits missing. Seen at the NEC Restoration show a few weeks ago, in the barn find area. They said 'that will never MOT'. Now back on the road after just spare time work. Stickers put on for comic effect.

I love these cars. I sat in an H120 at a show in Carlisle & I was surprised how well it compared comfort wise to my Mk2 Fiesta. Good looking cars too
