HERE I AM AGAIN FOLLOWERS.
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER COOL CLASSIC RELEASED FROM MY CAVERN TOMORROW.
THE Sunbeam Rapier IIIA is widely regarded as the pick of the bunch when it comes to all Rapier variants. It was the first of the models to be given a 1600cc engine while retaining its large rear fins and still producing the choice of either saloon or convertible. After the IIIA, there were no more Rapier convertibles.
This proud old girl is a rarity now. It's hard enough to find a Rapier fixed head in today's marketplace, let alone a drop head. Anyway, here she is. Solid, pretty, a great driver with overdrive on 3rd and 4th. A tailor-made hood in great nick. What else do you need to know? Reay to drive away and enjoy. One of my all time favourite models. The 4-seater Rapier convertible. I will leave the rest to you.
This description is based on my opinion of the vehicle, the paperwork that comes with the car and anything I have been told about it. The vehicle is 61-years-old and this cannot be taken as a definitive statement for obvious reasons. As with most classic cars, there may be faults and quirks whilst, almost inevitably, some degree of tinkering and care will always be called for. Such are the joys of owning an antique vehicle and they must be taken within their own context and not compared to modern day cars. They are sold as old, mainly out-dated machines and come without any comeback whatsoever. They are my terms and conditions.
My classic cars are motoring antiques. This car, for example, is 61-years-old and is unrestored. It's not two, five or even ten-years-old as your own everyday car may be. It has been in service for more than half a century and so will have quirks and faults in there somewhere. However, faults on these old girls are not always apparent when buying and selling classics which is what I do. I do not restore them, nor do I pretend that they are concours cars. The majority of them go out as they came in, and I continue to enjoy finding more - a skill which is becoming increasingly difficult as many of you will be aware. They deserve to be taken on as "family pets" and cared for through thick and then. They don't make them any more and demand now out-strips supply. Please bear all this in mind, and enjoy your classic car. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote.
I have now been established as a one-man band classic car dealer for 20 years and pride myself on my buying prowess and - due to small margins - my prices which I firmly believe are up there among the very best in the UK classic car marketplace.
Thanks, Martin. the details below
