Bob, great reading this. Thanks for sharing! I was mostly unaware of this rich heritage of Sunbeam.
Interesting comment at the end: "In July 1935 S.T.D. was purchased by Rootes Securities, who had no interest in high quality cars, only volume production."
I am guessing Rootes Securities must have been investment bankers. We can all read into that what we choose. At least the company survived for another 30 years and gave us our beloved Tigers!

Just finished viewing an article on Sunbeam history. Especially enjoyed the
chapters on the 1000 hp Sunbeam and the Silver Bullet.
Great old photos
