I'm trying to compile a list for my website of the various Hillmans,
Humbers, Singers, Commers and Chryslers which were rebadged as Sunbeams for
sale in export markets. I gather that just about the entire 60s/70s range
was, but I would like something more concrete before I publish it.

My list so far goes:

Sunbeam Imp (as opposed to Imp Sport): export Hillman Imp
Sunbeam Imp Sportsedan: Hillman Imp - USA
Sunbeam 900: Hillman Imp - Scandinavia
Sunbeam Chamois: Singer Chamois - Europe
Sunbeam Imp Californian: Hillman Imp Californian - Europe, NZ
Sunbeam Imp Station Wagon: Commer Imp Van/Hillman Husky - Europe

Sunbeam Arrow: Hillman Hunter - USA
Sunbeam Gazelle/Vogue: Arrow-type Singer Gazelle/Vogue - Europe
Sunbeam Highwayman: Commer Light Forward Control Van - USA
Sunbeam 1250/1500: Avenger - Europe

I think I also saw a picture of an Audax-type Sunbeam Gazelle once - USA
market?

Any additions or corrections would be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas all.
