A "bit scarce", you gotta be kidding. Having two is unbelieveable. These are
RARE cars. I do not think Sunbeam sold more then 1,000 cars per year in the
USA until the Alpine (1960 version). Some years it was a 2 digit number. So
these are very, very rare cars. If there is any way you could restore both of
them, I would strongly recommend it. If you are thinking of selling one-sell
it in England. They bring big bucks (or should that be big pounds?) there.
Even with shipping-and if they are not rusted.......wow.

Perhaps some of you who've been there and done it can give Art some pointers.
Ian Hobbis, are you out there? I was going to provide a link to your website,
but the link I have doesn't seem to work anymore.

Subject: what should I do?
I live in Oxnard, Ca.about 60 mi. north of LA. I have two restorable 1953
sunbeam Talbot supremes. one is the conv. the other is 4 door. Should I part
out one to make one, or is there parts to rebuild both? I would like to have
any of your comments. Thank you up front for any help you may give me. I have
just got started in this computer thing,so I got a lot to learn about both
subjects. I think at this time, it would be nice to keep this between you and
me. Nice web site.Hope to hear from you. Thanks again, Art Freel
