	Sunbeam cars

	Sunbeam Cars Model Range Spider

		Sunbeams maintained their careful, well-engineered designs into the 1930s, a new model being the 2.9-litre Speed model of 1933 (though the Dawn of the following year, with its ohv 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, was hardly in the Coatalen traditions).
		"Sunbeam" was used as a model name for the front-engined Chrysler of 1977, a far cry from its Grand Prix ancestry.

	Chrysler Sunbeam cars - and the Sunbeam Motor Company brand
		Sunbeam started in 1899 as tin-plate maker John Marston created prototypes in Wolverhampton (UK), but the first Sunbeam cars to be shown to the general public were sold for £130 starting in 1901, as the result of a partnership with Maxwell Maberly-Smith.
		However, the Sunbeam ti was a stripped-out special, and made little sense as a road car, thanks to its noise, harshness and tempermental nature, especially in town driving.
		The cars were then shipped to Lotus at Hethel in Norfolk for the installation of its engine and ZF gearbox, before being shipped to the Stoke works in Coventry for final pre-delivery inspections.

	Sunbeam Tiger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rootes Group West Coast of America marketing director Ian Garrad realised that the Alpine's image was that of a 'touring car' rather than a sports car, and he set about changing its image, using the recent success of the Shelby Cobra as a guide.
		Sunbeam asked Carroll Shelby to produce one functional prototype on a budget of $10,000.
		Production reached 7,085 cars over three distinct series (the factory only ever designated two, the Mk1 and Mk2; however, since the official Mk1 production spanned the changeover in body style from the Series IV Alpine panels to the Series V panels, the later cars are generally designated Mk1A by current Sunbeam Tiger enthusiasts).

	Chrysler Sunbeam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chrysler Sunbeam was a small supermini 3-door hatchback manufactured by Chrysler Europe at the former Rootes Group factory in Linwood in Scotland.
		The Sunbeam's development was funded by a British government grant with the aim to keep the Linwood plant running, and the small car was based on the larger Hillman Avenger also manufactured there.
		The Sunbeam Lotus was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in April 1979, but the road-going version of the rally car was not actually ready for deliveries to the public until after the rebranding, and thus became the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus.
