  A.C. I can get behind this, but with one modification... that it is 
for the worlds fastest Sunbeams....notice the plural of Sunbeams. If 
something like this was to get rolling, I would suggest that it shelter 
all Sunbeams of Speed, whether the quick type on drag racing, quick on 
tracks, or fast on Land Speed venues.  Kinda a wall of "shame" lol... If 
is is to put this car solely on a pedestal, nah, let's not do that...

By the way, why not the fastest Alpine?
