This Sunbeam Rapier received a £23,000 restoration approximately six years ago including a retrim.

Since then, it has seen very little use.

The 1592cc car was registered in February 1964 and has 104,920 miles showing on its odometer, with five registered keepers recorded.

It has an MoT through to December 2025 - even though, as an historic vehicle, it no longer requires one - and is reported as running and driving well.

The well-organised paperwork file includes the V5C, a copy of an old V5, lubrication chart, 27 old MoTs back to 1978 at 52,125 miles and assorted invoices back to the Seventies as well.
