Description Amendment: - additional information; impressive top-quality six-cylinder Sunbeam; lots of nice detail features; driven 35+ miles to the sale; a powerful Vintage tourer for all the family...

This rather splendid 3-litre six-cylinder Sunbeam is well-know to the Register and has been better known as UX 848 for most of its life.

Its first owner is recorded as a Mrs Banister of Caynton Hall, Wolverhampton, the car living in that area until it moved to Yorkshire in 1969.

Resting in the hands of Mr D Archbell who owned it for the next eight years, it was a fine four-seat tourer of the best traditions and was kept well up to the mark.

A note book from the early 1970s lists the work that was done during period, all of which holds little relevance, even if it is part of its history as unfortunately a garage fire damaged the vehicle in 1987.

The rolling-chassis passed through one more owner before our vendor acquired it in 2016 and actually got about the job of a rebuild.

For so...
