Sounds great. I always had an eye for a Sunbeam but got distracted with a MGC GT, had the engine rebuilt to a Sebring spec, triple Webers , straight twin pipes, lightened and balanced, quick rack etc It was great in a straight line but I soon got tired of it. Sold it to buy a Caterham...

Got any photos of your machine?

It is ugly but it's not quite Aztec-ugly.

They do look a bit odd in the UK, however, in the Middle East they look pretty cool.

I think the design goal was to make a Tacoma look like a turtle.

Much the same way an FJ is still an FJ in a posh frock.
A Hummer 2 looked much more dreadful sitting on a Tahoe.

Not counting the one used for the avatar, not much... I'll look around. I rarely take photos of much of anything.

Just had to snap this little beauty.. it's lives very near my work in London, parked on the street. It would qualify for a Sunday morning photo but I try not visit the office on the weekend... It's circa 1965.

I don't know how BMW can call their car a "mini", it's "massive". MK1 Mini Cooper S has always been on my "must buy" list but never got round to scratching that itch..
