Description
HERE is my 1960 Sunbeam Rapier series III. The correct spec 1500cc twin carb model with alloy head. Looks to be freshly painted, again in correct Rapier livery. Not sure if the brown is known as Mocha? Anyway, it's a proper Rapier two-tone combination. Probably needs some little bits of fettling here and there. A carpet set would help for starters as obviously removed for re-paint and probably not good enough to be put back in. Some of the vinyl has come away on the driver's seat near the door. Believed to have been stored for the past few years and may need checking over although she starts, drives and stops. Looks to be straight underneath. Front wings are grp but it was a while before I even realised. However they will never rust and they are of excellent quality. All in all, a really pretty sports saloon and rarely offered these days. Priced to sell as opposed to sitting around. If you are reading this, then you will be aware of where their prices are.
Should you opt to purchase a classic car from me - classic meaning that it will be the equivalent of a motoring antique - then you are accepting that the vehicle will have had faults in the past and that, inevitably, there will be more to deal with in the future. Almost certainly and unless stated otherwise, the vehicle will have undergone some degree of restoration work and, again, it is more than likely it will need more at some stage during its life. I am a one-man enthusiast who enjoys unearthing these old girls and finding new homes for them. Viewing is highly recommended and then you can form your opinion of an aged vehicle just as I will have already formed mine. Modern-day life practically dictates that the majority of classic vehicles - and it is certainly the case with mine - are sold via internet advertising and with the added bonus of digital photographs. Extra and specific photographs will also be available on request. Should you choose to buy without viewing in person then please don't tell me a month later that the horn doesn't work, the full beam is faulty or that you have found some ancient repair of which I knew nothing. My terms therefore are that by buying from me you are accepting that, almost inevitably, classic vehicles will require further remedial work at some stage.
