1964 Sunbeam Rapier

Earlier restoration recommissioned over the previous months include new cover for the Webasto sunroof, rear axle oil seals and bearings, brakes overhauled and stainless exhaust.

Its been fitted with a high torque starter and the clutch slave, servo and ignition parts look to have been replaced recently.

.

Its running a later 1725 engine and sports a Holbay rocker cover although I haven’t any information on whether it has any engine mods, it doesn’t have a Holbay head judging by the port sizes, so worst case just an embellishment.

Number Plate 452 GYU Included in the sale together with originally Owners Handbook.

Selling on behalf of an elderly gentleman who intended to drive and slowly restore this Sunbeam to a suitable level but unfortunately due to ill health he has now put a stop to this and has asked me to help sell.

Runs and drives ok, bodywork is generally good apart from the top rear of the nsf wing and a couple of paint splits on the nsr wing. Underside seems pretty solid, some welding done in the past and well covered in Waxoyl.

The Interior is good although the dash has had some lacquer applied badly.

I have removed most of it since the photo was taken and the veneer underneath looks better .

This is a running restoration and is listed at what I think is a fair asking price and hoping for interest from an enthusiast who will bring it up to scratch.

Car based in Ealing

Later Sunbeam 1725 engine upgrade

Drives very well

Nice rolling car for further commissioning.
