Sunbeam 350HP - Survival Today

Survival Today

After Campbell, the Sunbeam appears to have returned to circuit racing with wider tyres and a return to the short tail with green paintwork. As late as 1936, bandleader Billy Cotton recorded 121.57 mph (195.65 km/h) over a kilometre on the beach at Southport. The car may have stayed in Lancashire afterwards, turning up there during World War 2 and then being sold to the Beaulieu collection in 1958.

It is on show today at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Hampshire.

Famous quotes containing the words survival and/or today:

    I do not approve the extermination of the enemy; the policy of exterminating or, as it is barbarously said, liquidating enemies, is one of the most alarming developments of modern war and peace, from the point of view of those who desire the survival of culture. One needs the enemy.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Give me today, for once, the worst throw of your dice, destiny. Today I transmute everything into gold.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
