Marc,

The official Rootes "Sunbeam Car club" was indeed factory supported. I have
a few of the original publications as well. It went under with the advent of
Chryslers 51% stock purchase as did the factory race and rally teams.

The club that we started back in 1976 was at first a local club with about 20
guys with Alpines, Tigers and a few Imps and such. In it peak we had about
600 members and published a newsletter called "On the Beam". It was a total
Rootes club, but again most members owned Alpines 59-67 and Tigers. The club
feel apart around 1985. I still have 200-250 issues of the newsletters here
somewhere.....

Best regards,
Curt
Classic Sunbeam Inc.
