Some years ago I sent Rick some photos I'd taken in the 1970s of my cousin Ken's Series II Alpine. http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/sunbeam.htm

Well back in February I was contacted by John Lakey of Corgi Models asking if they could make a model of Ken's car.

True to his word John sent both Ken and myself copies of the model that arrived today.

What a great result Peter. if you keep it in the box, along with the correspondence from Corgi it could well be worth a significant amount in 50+ years.

Hi Rick,

He saw the photos in your Sunbeam page but contacted me through my website. I don't think he joined up to OCC.

Note to self: Contact solicitor to add it to my will.
