I had contacted the seller late last year to inform them that the shooting break was an April fools joke from the saoca many years ago and that they had a series I soft top on the SV illustration.... Never got a response.

Looks like its drawn in illustrator so can easily be changed and am sure they are printing on demand rather than having done a run.

As a side note the guy who owned the fidorri (sp?) Alpine in Europe had done a bunch of sunbeam posters years ago that coveted 20's onwards and sold them worldwide.

I think you guys are just mean-spirited. How much effort would it take to build a Harrington-like fibreglass top to create the "Howarth Shooting Brake"? If about 20 S1 Roadsters were converted the car would be a reality and this guy wouldn't need to change his poster. History rewritten, problem solved.

Anyone on the list with a S1 who'd like to place an order for the very rare Howarth (not to be confused with the lesser Harrington) Shooting Brake conversion kit, please contact Jeff. I'm sure he will be keen to see his idea to fruition.

Hell, I'll take one Jeff, and I don't even have a S1 yet!

Cheers,
Paul (almost 1st April) Heuer.

PS: Michael, the European Sunbeam poster you mention is now known as the 'Expurgated Version - the one without the shooting brake' (apologies to the Pythons).

We had an older person here many years ago with a shooting brake. Came looking for a couple of parts. He would not sell it to me even though I was willing to pay a real good price as I would have bought it right there and then.Lost contact over the years. Never heard from him or anything re his car. Would still buy it if it ever showed up.
