===Sunbeam=== [[File:Sunbeam Vogue License plate ca 1969.jpg|thumb|right|Circa 1969 Sunbeam Vogue]] [[File:sunbeam.rapier.arp.jpg|thumb|right|1974 Sunbeam Rapier fastback coupé in "Grasshopper" green]] The single-carburettor [[Sunbeam Alpine#Alpine "Fastback"|Sunbeam Alpine]] and twin-carburettor [[Sunbeam Rapier#Sunbeam Rapier Fastback coupé|Sunbeam Rapier]] were only sold as fastback coupés, and were marketed with a strong sporting image – although it was eventually the Hillman Hunter which was used in long-distance rallying. The sportiest Sunbeam was the Rapier H120 model, though this shared its specially tuned Holbay engine with the Hillman Hunter GLS. Sunbeam Arrow, Sunbeam Break de Chasse, Sunbeam Hunter, Sunbeam Minx, Sunbeam Sceptre and Sunbeam Vogue were used for export markets where the Sunbeam name was more familiar or deemed more likely to succeed. The Sunbeam Arrow name was used in North America. Sunbeam Break de Chasse, Hunter, Vogue and Minx were offered in some French-speaking markets (where "break" is a term for an estate). A Sunbeam Sceptre appeared in France<ref name="salon68">{{Cite journal | year = 1968 | title = Catalogue Salon de l'Auto 68 | issue = 16 | page = 106 | publisher = Europe Auto | location = Paris | language = fr }}</ref> and some German-speaking markets (at least), and carried the Humber Sceptre level of specification, as described below. The Sunbeam Vogue was also available in the home (British) market for a short period after the Singer marque was retired in 1970.
