I have been trying to research my car and found some nice images of Sunbeams
competing. I still have yet to figure out what the badge was on the hood
of my Series IV.... check neg26-23.jpg... the badge is missing on the car
now but the holes are there....anybody know what the badge was????

Thanks to Nick England VIR's historian....
