Hello, Sunbeam aficionados. I'm Terry and I have been a member without a Sunbeam for about three years or so. Enviously observing all the lovely cars people look after. I grew up with a Sunbeam Rapier 111A Convertible until it was too rusty for my Mum to keep on the road, after that we walked. But once I was driving myself I had a series of Hillman and Sunbeam Imps even building and selling a couple of Rallye 998cc engines. Working abroad for most of my employed life has got in the way of sensible Sunbeam ownership. However early retirement has been forced on me by the Bat Flu Malarkey, and I have decided to properly start looking for a 111A convertible, I even have one in mind as we speak. Hopefully I can glean information from the collective Sunbeam consciousness as I proceed on this adventure. Hello

Hi Terry.... Welcome to the forum.
If you get the chance, beg borrow or steal the latest issue of the club magazine.
Article on a convertible restoration, but check out the pic with no doors on.... Makes you realise how important that cruciform underneath is, and worth scrutiny on any intended purchase....
Good luck and keep us posted...

Thank you, yes I have the latest club magazine. I have also been busy reading up on checking for filler and stuff like that, all a bit scary really.
