The Rally Of The Tests historic car rally held in November 2005
Notes on this classic Sunbeam Rapier seen on 13th Nov 2005.
Car No. 53 is a 1600cc Rapier from 1963 according to the entry list. Rapiers could often be found on Monte Carlo and similar rallies in the late 1950s and early 1960s til the Minis and Healeys found success.
This picture, of an early Rapier, is photo number 71 of 95 images that I've put up on the site showing the historic rally cars that took part in this event in 2005. Please go to the main Rally Of The Tests photos page to see the other 94 photos! All were taken during a mid-morning stop-over between competitive stages during the rally on Sunday 13th November. The venue was the former secret nuclear bunker at Hack Green, near Nantwich in Cheshire.
