Some of our cars come from further afield than others. Take for instance this lovely Sunbeam Rapier.
Now you might be able to tell by the photos that this car isn’t coming in from the UK. This car has actually called the continent of Africa home for its life. Specifically South Africa.
It will be coming into us to be assessed and have its new home here in the UK. Recently this car has done an epic 1800km road trip from Johannesburg to Pringle Bay with its owner. The car itself had been restored by Rapier expert Barney Curtis before his passing.
The owner in South Africa wrote a wonderful piece in the Summer 2019 edition of Cut & Thrust about this road trip and the most important thing we took away from it was that it never skipped a beat thanks to the work done by Barney Curtis.
Expect to see more on this Sunbeam when it arrived with us later on.
