Arriving soon at RFH Classics, 𝟏𝟗ðŸðŸ ðð®ð§ððžðšð¦ ððšð©ð¢ðžð 𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐀. We are delighted to offer this stunning example finished in Silver Grey with a striking Red roof and matching side detailing, perfectly complemented by a Red leather interior. The elegant lines of this early ’60s British coupé capture the timeless charm of the Series Rapier models, making it a fantastic opportunity for classic car enthusiasts. , Recently acquired from previous long term ownership, this well maintained Classic from the Rootes Group has benefitted from extensive restoration and a significant number of new parts, ensuring it remains a highly useable and reliable classic. , The Sunbeam Rapier was produced by the Rootes Group between 1955 to 1976 and evolved through two distinct styles, the early “Series” models and the later “Arrow” fastback variants. Introduced in 1961, the Series IIIA retained the styling of its predecessor, the Series III but featured important mechanical upgrades, including an increased engine capacity and a stronger crankshaft. While its performance figures were slightly lower than the Series III, the IIIA gained a reputation for its durability and reliability. , Owned and carefully maintained since 2018, this Sunbeam Rapier IIIA has undergone a substantial amount of work to ensure its excellent condition, including Mechanical Overhaul work that included a new clutch, piston rings, and shells, along with a full cylinder head refurbishment. Restoration work has included a full respray in 2018, bringing the paintwork back to its original brilliance as well as new brakes, carpets, tyres, and exhaust, further enhancing its roadworthiness. , Although exempt from MOT testing due to its age, this Rapier comes with a valid MOT until November 2025, providing additional reassurance for the next owner. As a historic vehicle, it is exempt from both road tax and ULEZ charges, adding to the ease and affordability of ownership. This will be a fantastic opportunity to own a well presented, well sorted example of this stylish and increasingly rare British classic. , Here at RFH Classics we are proud to be Bedfordshires largest independent classic car dealer with over 35 years of experience in supplying high quality vehicles that you can buy with confidence.
