hi, thinking of selling my sunbeam rapier. it starts and runs, the twin carbs sound georgous! its the original 1700 engine, interior is totaly original and has been kept in close to imaculate condition. it has no mot, and requires little work to have it in show condition. cills look a little crusty, i was planning to replace them. paintwork is original and now showing its 40 odd years of age! so i was going to treat it to a fresh coat of paint- think this shade of off-white realy sets a rapier off- the best colour to have one in! other than that the car is in extremely good condition for its age, no more rust, very solid, very original condition with no signs of previous bodged and shoddy repairs. i have the v5 in my name, and the car can be viewd, running and driving. i was planning to keep this one for myself, but too many projects, and not enough undercover storage has tempted me to list it on here. there realy are very few of these left, its a rare car, and they carry a decent price tag once restored. i only have this one picture on the computer at the moment, but if anyone is interested then get in touch and i can post a load more up. also if need be i can arrange and organise any transport for the car. I'm in hertfordshire. thanks, matt

hi.
i have added photos just taken.
the cills look suprisingly good! i thought the trims were hiding some rust, but it appears that perhaps they was not!
the interior is supprisingly good for its age, and totaly original, a real time warp.
the engine bay needs a lick of paint, as does the car itself, but there are no plates, welds, or rust in the bay, as you can see.
i may have been jumping to conclusions about welding the cills. one the trims are off you can see the true condition of them. but i don't think the car will need any welding for an mot.
now i have had chance to have a quick poke around the sunbeam, I'm in too minds weather to sell it! i have now been offered £3400 for the car by a mate of a mate. if anyone can do £3500 then the car is theirs!?
thanks, matt
