Robin,
It started its rallying career in the late eighties driven by Anthony Barron.

The bolt pattern on Midgets are different. The rear wheels are probably from a Ford (UK) Cortina or Capri. Or maybe even from a Sunbeam (Hunter GLS or H120).

Yes, they are called Rostyle wheels and were common on english ford cars.

The wheel looks exactly like the ones on a 74 Capri I had. Still have one or two of the center caps.

Hi All,
Just checking in with my first post to the forum. I am really pleased to be part of the Sunbeam community again. I was member #8 in the original UK SAOC and editor of the SAOC Horn for its first 2 yrs.
I am the lucky new owner of the rallying Harrington (although $$ had something to do with it), and as the Norwegian football commentator said when Norway beat England at soccer some years back "Can you hear me Maggie Thatcher, Winston Churchill? - your boys [the car] has taken one h*ll of a beating." In truth I am desperately jealous of the fun this car has given its previous owners and I hope to keep it active and do it justice as a genuine driving car. It has had monumental expenditure over the years on its mechanics.
I'm compiling a web site to let others (and me) keep track of its history and what I have done to it. Hope it amuses everyone.

Hi, thanks for the good wishes. I am a novice regards rallying so my wife and I intend to do the novice training when it starts up next year and then do some light club stage events in 2010. We've joined the HRCR - a previous owner is in the HRCR hierarchy. Far easier is to enter into trials, and the first one will be a non-competition run up the Prescott Hill Climb next May - I'll film it for YouTube! I also plan to do the 'Ring' with a friend who has just got a Healey 100 BN4 - maybe later 2009 or early 2010. We're too busy with work to do 3-4-5 day rallies right now.
Since the car is very useable I might consider letting a qualified driver drive it in events under the right conditions, if a serious opportunity presented itself (like with me or a family member in the passenger seat!). So yes, will keep the car active if I can. No concours rebuild, just tidying up.
The left rear hinge has become partially dislodged probably due to action, and the door drops 1 cm on the left side as it opens, with the door fouling the roof - slightly splitting the door. I'll need to pull the headlining, prop-up the hinge, and then put on some layers of F/G and bond it all back in place. Not looking forward to that, it should make an interesting photo sequence, tho'.

Good then. Looking forward to the Prescott hillclimb video. Should be fun.
Let me know when go to the Ring- when time allows we may be able to meet you there.
The rear hinge is a real "pig" to work on. Hopefully your mounting screws will rotate freely since they tend to rot like crazy in the horizontal stiffening bar...
