If you're looking to attend a mult-marque British meet within 500 miles of your area that has very good Sunbeam representation, you should plan on attending Meeting of the Marques in Sinking Spring, PA (near Carlisle/Harrisburg). It usually takes place in mid-Sept. I think they have 200-300 cars (all British), with 10-15 Sunbeams. Tiger Tom is usually involved with organizing the event. Give him a call to get your name on the mailing list.
