Comments from the seller
A gorgeous little convertible with super rare alloy hardtop. The first Bond car, featured in Dr No. Regretful sale after 11 years of ownership and a lot of great drives.
Body and interior mostly period correct, including sourced original steering wheel, nave plates and wheels.
Aftermarket soft top and mechanism installed. Full original tonneau cover is also included.
Includes full suite of hard-to-find manuals, including Series II workshop manual (for body and electrics) and 1725cc workshop manual (for engine). Also includes many notes (printed and handwritten) covering most of the work on the car.
Currently on conditional/historic registration (member of Sunbeam Owners Club of NSW Inc).
Major Components:
- Hillman Hunter HC (or GT) 1725cc engine
- Aluminium cylinder head
- 4-speed all-synchro gearbox
- Electronic ignition
Recent major work:

The car drives like a modern car, with no work to be done. A nippy little car and a fun drive, with the top down or up!
