A bloke I know in Cootamundra (not far from you Farmer

) has his Sunbeam Rapier Convertible up for sale. He has spent heaps getting it into this condition. This is a rare model especially in Australia, I doubt there would be more than 10 in the country. This is, of course, a sporty cousin to the Hillman Minx, on which the Isuzu Minx PH200 was based.
Cheers, Vic

10 years younger - And a world of difference! Yet much in common.
I know that car I think - in the Coota club. I've seen a few tin tops over the years, but this would be the only foldy-roof one. Pretty cool looking I reckon. Love those understated clip-on Studebaker-esk fins - about as flashy as the Brits got!
Did they have go-fast options under the bonnet?
Next question, It it coming to Vic's house??
Cheers, Matt.
