Sunbeam Sighting

[Melena]

Hey Darwin R65!

I saw 2 Sunbeams driving down our Hwy 101 here in Sonoma County today.  Very cool little topless cars.    The front one looked like the back fender was bent up out of shape.  But otherwise these 2 cars seemed to be really nice.  They took an offramp shortly after I saw them though so I didn't get a really good look.  I kind of had to keep my eyes on the road too.

Nice little sports cars, similar in appearance to MG's but different.

But they are actually a different company to the Sunbeam motorbikes. The bikes are really BSA using Sunbeam brand to appeal to the gentry.

I would have loved to have seen the pair driving together though.

thanks Melena.

We had a little Sunbeam Minx when I was growing up.  That's the one I crashed two weeks after I got my license... :-/

Any relation to the Hillman Minx of the 50's?

I drove a Hillman Gazelle for a short while, it was like the premium model to the Minx
