Club Monthly General Meeting

You are invited to attend the 12 November club meeting when a lesser known sports car alternative to the 1950/60s MGA/MGBs will be on display. This post-WWII era was an exciting time for sports car development, with the likes of MG, Triumph, Healey, Morgan and Sunbeam and their associated racing.

Following the entry of two Sunbeam Alpine Series II based cars at the 1961 '24-hour LeMans' race , the Sunbeam Harrington that completed the race was acknowledged with a significant award for the time, the 'Index of Thermal Efficiency Award'. 

In recognition of this achievement, the Sunbeam Motor Car Company, in conjunction with the coachbuilder Thomas Harrington Ltd, built and released 250 coupe based Sunbeam Harrington LeMans commemorative vehicles, somewhat rare now with only a hand full in Australia. One of our club members now owns such a vehicle that he will have on display at our 12 November club meeting.

In addition to details of the unique features of that car, the display presentation will include some history of the Sunbeam Motor Car Company, together with a short video of the actual 1961 24-Hour LeMans race.

Come and see up close our club member's Sunbeam Harrington LeMans and experience some broader details of the actual race event.

The presentation will be followed by a short meeting finishing with supper and a chat with other members.

All members are most welcome and encouraged to attend.
