SUNBEAM RAPIER IV
2-door sports saloon.
Smaller, wider wheels, no grease nipples, revised (better) gearing, and an engine redesign with bigger valves, lighter flywheel, and a single dual-choke carburettor. Other improvements include a diaphragm clutch, a brake servo, and (on '65s) synchro for all four gears. Recognisable by its unhooded headlamps and five-bar side grilles.
