Sunbeam
SUNBEAM RAPIER II

2-door sports saloon, convertible.

Bigger engine, more power, higher axle ratio, bigger brakes, floor change, and back to a recognisable Sunbeam (or, more strictly, Talbot) grille. Stiffer springing makes it nicer to drive, but ratios still on the agricultural side. Overdrive now extra.
