1959 Sunbeam Rapier Convertible. A Sunbeam Rapier, eh? Not exactly a compelling model name, at least not today, but 1959 was 65 years ago and a lot has changed � like the disappearance of Sunbeam entirely. I can truly state that I�ve never seen, or even heard of the Rapier, and that piqued my interest even that much more so. Built by the Rootes Group, the Sunbeam Rapier was in existence from �55 until �76 though it took several different turns in design over that twenty-two-year production cycle. Our �59 subject, one of approximately 15K constructed, qualifies as a Series II model which was short-lived and offered only in �58 and �59. Body styles included a coupe and convertible. The interior�s blue vinyl upholstery shows as sound as do the door cards and the carpet. I�m not sure about that off-white gauge binnacle and whether or not that is as it should be, but the gauges and switchgear appear to be all there and accounted for � no instrument panel vacancies noted. The radio looks like a replacement unit and that�s hardly a surprise. Said to �run and drive great!�, that action is courtesy of a 73 HP, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. I imagine that the air cleaner(s) have been removed for photographing but the engine appears to be complete otherwise. Power to the rear wheels is channeled via a four-speed manual gearbox. The mileage listing is 55K So, the verdict? this is an unusual, and cool, little convertible and I imagine that it would appeal to British car enthusiasts � it�s certainly not an everyday find, much less a typical barn find. Parts sourcing? That one I don�t know about; the mechanicals maybe aren�t as difficult to acquire as body and trim but that�s just conjecture on my part. OK, a show of hands, who is familiar with Sunbeam�s Rapier?
