The Series III Sunbeam Rapier introduced in 1959 featured several design refinements over its previous production models, including modified side grilles, a different shaped number plate recess and a redesigned side flash. Finer windscreen pillars increased the windscreen area and even the interior was upgraded. Our 1:76 scale replica of the two-door Mk III includes many of these modifications and for its sixth outing, the Rapier is painted in one of the authentic yet unusual two-tone schemes of light grey with brown roof and sideflash and brown interior. Registered 728 DCY, additional detail sees the remaining exterior trim finished in silver.
The Sunbeam Rapier spanned two decades of British motor manufacture by the Rootes Group between 1955 and 1976.
