Nice car but a tad overpriced ?

Worth every penny.

My father-in-law had a 1967 Sunbeam Rapier Fastback Coupe, he owned it right upto the mid 1990's. He eventually sold it due to no longer being bale to justify the repair bills.

They certainly don't make cars like these any more, so much character is lost in today's modern equivalent.

They'll probably accept a near offer....

Might be worth double checking the mileage - looks like the speedometer cable has been disconnected.

Beautiful looking car though.

Love the classic layout of the two large dials and the four smaller ones in the middle.

It looks a bargain, besides what else could you get for £70k?

I'd rather have this one...

Hmmm............ Hanwells. Carry a large stock but I have to say they have the worst quality cars I had ever seen, unprofessional, anyone wishing to buy a Rolls Royce or Bentley by all means pay them a visit and then go and see other specialist independents and compare, you'll find a world of difference - people like Balmoral, Phantom, Royce Engineering I would highly recommend.

I spent a year searching for a Bentley to buy, initially was going to be a Continental R, eventually got myself a Turbo RT which I had for 5 years, nearly love my Rover as much as I did that car, but makes me realise now how much better value our cars are.
