I had one. One interesting feature was how the fastback shape acted as a wing so anything over 70 meant you started to become airborne!

I had a nice metallic blue Rapier back in the early 1970s. Lot of fun and got many admiring looks. Had overdrive in third and fourth gear and was surprising quick for a car of it's time. Back when driving was fun. Good memories.........where did the time go 🤔🤔

Had the H120 version back in the day, scary fast. The "pillarless" thing is great, wish cars had it in this day and age ! hyper-cool today.

If i some how won the lottery, this is the car that i would buy for my dad. It is a car he has previously owned, and he continues to talk about to this day. That, and a MK1 Granada, in fact he had two of them at the same time. Don't know if they were both Ghias but one of them was at least.

I had one of the Alpine GT's he mentioned, the best bit of those cars is putting the windows down and the whole side was open.

I am lucky enough to own on of these, although it's an Alpine coupe with 4600 original miles that is a concours trophy winner.

The reason they are so scarce is because they are total rust boxes Look great, but totally unreliable. I had 2 of em and sorry to say the worse cars i have ever owned even though they are pretty looking

My dad had the base model M reg Sunbeam Alpine with a 1725 cc single Stromberg carb. but I told my schoolmates that it had twin 40 webers as used on the H120. Think I got away with it!

Big shame when the Rootes group cars were replaced with Chrysler crap. But still a very attractive car x

They look a bit like an Interceptor at the front ❤

Hillman Hunter coupe. Isn't the handbrake in the unusual place near the drivers door?

It looks like a 3/4 scale 1964-66 Plymouth Barracuda. _(9/14/2022)_
@thefloorkiller2 жыл бұрын
It was designed on the Barracuda, that's a nice car but the interior is not as nice as original, the dash doesn't look right with that retrim, the centre console should have an ashtray at the front of the gearlever and one at the rear of the console and those seats are aftermarket but they look the part, I wouldn't mind knowing what car they came from as I would probably fit some in mine
