While it’s perhaps not the most famous piece of 1970s styling, there’s no doubt that the Rapier Fastback was a superb-looking motor. With the pillarless cabin and swept design, it held its own nicely amongst a backdrop of increasingly stylish European motors.
This example has spent much of its life in sunny Spain, and is heavily original, with no known cosmetic or mechanical modifications. As a result, it’s a great thoroughbred that’s perfect for throwing you back to the 70s, when the platforms were high, the bell bottoms were broad and the radio was loaded with New Wave.
A lesser-spotted, distinctly 70s British fastback, this Sunbeam Rapier is a fastback piece of authentic, retro loveliness. With a little bit of interior restoration, this could be a superb and rather unusual addition to any collector’s garage.
