very interesting car. it would be a cool candidate for a classic hotrod or custom. it would be a one of a kind custom at a car show. I love those headlight visors and the fins on this thing, kinda has some design ques off the 50's Studebaker's.
This is one of the most delightful cars I've ever seen. Microcars tag? I can't imagine that wheelbase being longer than 80 inches. I'm savoring every inch of glorious chrome trim on this beauty.
I never thought I'd be so in love with a Sunbeam, my gosh.
A series 2 convertible is super rare,I own a series 3a convertible and recently spoke to a rootes expert at the beaulieu auto jumble about survivors. He reckoned only about 100 convertibles survive of all series worldwide,the series 2 being the rarest

There's a rare sight in the states. I hope this is a restoration project, not a neglected moss farm.

Well, Raymond Loewy was a design consultant for the Rootes Group, and it shows.

I agree this deserves restoration, hopefully something close to its original state and not a custom!

I love these, shame to see one in such a state of disrepair.
At first glance I thought it was a Stude! It doesn't seem to be in real bad shape. I love the 'eyebrows'.
I like the moustache and bad teeth.
