I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I guess it helps to repeat it so that you know how my mind works, LOL! I am always fascinated by a large assortment of vehicles and while a good portion of my collection consists of models that I've never seen in 1:1 form. Not seeing a car or truck before doesn't stop me from acquiring one of my own. My rule of thumb is simple. Does it look good and have some appeal to me? A yes and it's in.
That goes for this model, I've never seen a Sunbeam Rapier in person and probably never will. No worries though, 'cause I have a couple in my collection-all good!

I love the Sunbeam Rapier styling. There were many of these cars on the roads back in the day in my home town of Victoria, British Columbia.

It couldn't look more British.
