Comments from the seller

The 1965 Sunbeam Rapier makes a big impression. 89965 miles on the clock only .Strong 1725cc engine coupled to a 4 speed all syncro gearbox with overdrive. New VTO [ minilite style ] alloy wheels, 13x6" . new 185/60 x13 Michelin tyres. Alternator fitted. New 40DCOE [Weber type] carbies. Woodrim steering wheel, later type seats fitted for comfort & safety. Very good body, with clean paint that was redone at an earlier restoration .All body rubbers have been replaced, front & rear screen rubbers & door seals new. A great little driver & would make a great classic rally car & for club runs. Regretful sale as I am downsizing my house & will not have room for my little toy. Serviced yearly , new distributor, plugs & leads fitted last year.
