A belated Happy New Year to my fellow 'Piners:

I am just back to PA after spending the holidays in Bournemouth England,
and have a question or two.

Sunbeam first:  While at the Iford Bridge Pub, I saw a great Rapier,
light colored, absolutely perfect.  If the owner is on this list,
congratulations!  Great car.  My question:  I noted it had hubcaps with
the talbot emblem on them, and thought they would look better than my
'dog dish' standard issue hubcaps.  Are they available anywhere?  Are
they rare?

I also saw on the same day (Jan 1) several old cars, there must have
been a rally.  One car that passed me was a 50s/60s vintage 2 seat
sports car I had never seen before.  It looked similar to a TR2 or 3,
including the fender/wing  lines, BUT had pointy fins like a S1/2/3.  I
wish I could give a better discription, but it zipped past me pretty
quick.  Any thoughts?

Bill
