Sunbeam Rapier - Details Unknown

The Sunbeam Rapier was the first of the "Audax" range of light cars produced by the Rootes Group, as announced at the London Motor Show in October 1955.

Although designed "in house", it was supposedly inspired by the new-generation Studebaker coupés of 1953.

Without the registration number to check the DVLA records I'm unsure exactly which year this one was made.

However, from the design elements it has to be either a Series III, which was introduced in 1959, or a Series IIIA which was introduced in 1961.
