Not necessarily a restoration as just a showing of the car. It has taken 3 years of planning etc... to get it here and now it is at it's new home. Mark Costello helped me greatly to get it here.
It is one of only two or three in North America. They made less than 5,000 of these Stilettos so it is rare enough. Has been nicely modified with loads of great details.

Re: '67 Sunbeam Stiletto
I have added a couple things to the car since I first got it. A useful chin spoiler now adds down force to keep the nose down in windy times as well as looking dead sexy. Suspension was very high in the air for my liking so I lowered it down as the shocks are adjustable for height and rebound. So lower and tightened up the rebound. Camber is now much better. I added Raydot style side mirrors as well as my ubiquitous bonnet straps of which I add to all my cars. You know, bit of S&M for the giggles of it
I love this car, it sounds sweet, drives great and handling is getting better as I dial it in. The thumbs up and great comments of course are ever present which is a great joy.

Very, VERY nice ! .
I like the photobomb in picture # 2 .
I was driving up Azusa Canyon, Glendora Ridge and Mountain roads to Mt. Baldy and back to - day and having fun, I'm sure this car would have been *much* better .
