1957 Sunbeam Mk 111 For Sale

This 1957 Sunbeam is one of the very last of this model, having been registered on the 22ndMay 1957. She underwent an extensive body off restoration some years ago resulting in an award from the Sunbeam Club. The car is well known to the club. The underside is nicely painted and extremely clean. The boot mounted tool kit is complete and the lesser known small tool wallet is still tucked away behind the small door in the passenger footwell. Even the tiny spare key bag is present.
Finished in Cactus and Pine Green and although there are the odd marks, the car looks fine. She retains her original interior and has a factory sunshine roof and is fitted with overdrive. The engine had an unleaded conversion to the cylinder head when it was rebuilt and a reconditioned overdrive unit was fitted last year. Interestingly, the previous but one owner first acquired the car during the 1990s and re-purchased it in 2016 having been a principal of the Rootes Group dealership some years ago.
There are numerous previous MOT certificates, plus the original RF60 buff logbook, service book and the hard cover Rootes Group Sunbeam Workshop Manual. The original purchase guarantee is with the car.
The previous owner had the car thoroughly checked over in Baskervilles in Barnstaple in February 2021, where it received a complete lubrication service, charging system overhaul, stripping and refurbishment of the gear change mechanism and a complete new heater matrix. Plus there were replacement hoses and other small improvement.
Unfortunately, when I purchased the car in April of this year, due to Covid I bought the car without being there in person (Devon) and had it transported to my address. This was a mistake, as although I knew it had column change, I didn’t know I would be unable to use the gear change because of my shoulder joints. They were repaired after an accident and left me with shortened tendons. So, although initially I thought I could get the car changed to floor change the local man who supplied a kit for the job could not do the work and to get it done elsewhere what with transporting etc did not make economic sense.
So sadly I need to go back to a floor change classic. I have started it regularly and it is has not been a problem. The only thing is the fuel gauge, which does not read completely empty.
There is an excellent video of the car on Robin Lawton Classic Car Website (Sold cars Page 3).
The car is sorned at the moment.
