Hi

The 289ci Sunbeam Rapier fastback was called an Allegro 289 (before Austin 
built their horrible Allegro). There was only one produced as far as I know.

I owned a few Rootes Group cars with the stock 1725cc engine with Holbay 
tuning: a Rapier H120 fastback, a Humber Sceptre Sports and an old Hillman 
Minx in banana yellow with Rapier parts dropped in. These were pretty cool 
cars but a 289 would really have flown.
