Can anyone confirm if there will be the usual Sunbeam Spares Day held at the Memorial Park in Coventry and if so what date?

Thanks

Gary

Ok thanks for confirming back, I may well have a ride down, I've been once to the Rootes Archive Centre and found it fascinating.

The lure of possible spares and a look at some nice cars too is a bonus :)

Ok thanks for confirming both.

It's the same place I visited last September with a mate called Keith to drop some paperwork off.

Keith's father was a Former Rootes Director who helped set up the Australian CKD Plant in the 1950's.
