Hello all,
I have seen this calendar as we had some New Zealanders come over to hang
around with the Sunbeam Car Club of Victoria a short while ago. It is
pretty good, and if I wanted a calendar I would buy it. The club bought a
dozen or so.
As for the Humber Super Snipe, I think they're great, much to the disgust
of my better half. I plan to buy one at some time to use for business type
car usage and for longer trips. They cruise very nicely at speeds of 80mph.
BTW, when the Queen visited Australia in the sixties the entourage was
chauffeured around in Super Snipes.
FWIW, my ideal stable of cars would comprise of: a Minx Sedan (for grocery
shopping), a Super Snipe (for long distance cruising), an Alpine SII (for
sporting about in), and a Minx 4-seater Convertible (for boulevard cruising
with me in the back seat and someone else driving).
[Disregarding money, we'll swap the Alpine for a Mk1a Tiger, or a Boxster,
which unfortunately starts at $110,000 ($US80,000) plus on road costs here]
