@ janmarine, well, I haven't seen a single Rootes group car here in Budapest since arriving a year ago. I owned an "H120" lookey-likey for over 20 years so I dare say I've a little experience of them. Now though I drive one of my dream cars, a BMW 850Ci - it's slightly better than the Rapier but in totally different ways. I still like the Rapier though, a great car and I loved mine, I was pleased to see it go to a very good home where I know it weill be well looked after and loved as much I loved it. |

Hi argonaut - cmon, get yourself another H120 or similar ? Life is short man !
Are there many Sunbeams/Rootes , fans and activity around your area ? |

Looks nice, fun car.
On the flames subject, I once bought an H120 bootlid that not only had flames painted on it, it had a whole picture of a burning city! Really quite impressive and a right b%67tard to remove it was too! I also bought a front wing from the same source - that had lovely flames painted on it too but in such thick paint it had preserved the wing nicely and prevented the usual rot spots. |

yep..the flames would be too much, I got carried away a bit there.
I would love to see a series 3 and H120 that went through the hands of those guys on the tv program 'overhauling' .. |
