dsl ◊ 2019-07-06 20:34	After googling lots of pics of red Rapier converible, I think this is probably 558 TPJ - a March 61 S3 convertible with red hood and whitewalls, and a film rentacar. S3a launched in April 61, so one of the last plain S3s. 558 TPJ ✓ Taxed Tax due: 01 November 2019 MOT No results returned Vehicle make: SUNBEAM Date of first registration: March 1961 Year of manufacture: 1961 Cylinder capacity (cc): 1494 cc Fuel type: PETROL Export marker: No Vehicle status: Tax not due Vehicle colour: RED The other Rootes-jewel is the black Gazelle S6 (FBK 304D), already listed.
