1959 Sunbeam Rapier Parts List Manual Series I Ii Iii Sports Saloon Convertible on 2040-parts.com
Thornhill, Ontario, CA
This auction is for an original 1959 Sunbeam Rapier Series I, II and III Parts List Manual. Covers Sports Saloon and Convertible models. Includes a listing of all parts numbers with many 'exploded' parts diagrams throughout. A valuable resource for anyone who owns or services these cars.
This manual has 327 pages and measures 8 1/2" by 11".
Condition: This item is a used vintage shop manual and condition reflects this. There is staining / wear to the covers but the inside pages are very clean overall. This is a hard bound book and the covers / spine have started to separate from the inside pages. They are, however, still reasonably well attached. A very nice example of a rare original Rootes manual.
Shipping & Payment: Please Read Carefully Before Bidding
Shipping Options – Canada and the United States
Shipping (North America): Surface shipping from Canada to anywhere in the United States is $11.50 and airmail is $14.50. Surface shipping delivery usually takes 2-4 weeks and airmail usually takes 1-2 weeks. However, items sent by either method are sometimes delayed longer due to customs or other postal factors beyond my control. Please email for Canadian shipping rates which may be equal or less depending on province. Local pickup is recommended and can be arranged in the midtown Toronto area.
Tracking / Further Upgrades: Tracking or further upgraded shipping is available but may be significantly more expensive. Please email for a quote if you require the item to be tracked or a guarantee that the item arrive sooner than the 1-2 week airmail period.
International Shipping: I'm happy to ship worldwide. Please email for a shipping quote before bidding.
Combined Shipping: I will always discount and combine (where possible) shipping on multiple item purchases. Usually, several small, single brochures can be sent in the same package for the stated shipping price. However, this may not be the case for larger orders, lots, heavier or oversized items. Please email for combined shipping rates on these items.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to a busy work schedule, I am only able to take items to the post office once a week (usually Saturday morning). Exceptions may be possible, so please email in advance if you require your item to be mailed sooner.
Condition: See description for exact condition. While all major flaws will be stated above, even literature in "excellent condition" may have minor flaws such as light corner wear, small creases near staples, etc. If condition is a concern, please confirm with me before bidding.
Please see my other auctions for more great deals! I will be selling a large automotive literature collection over the coming weeks. Thousands of pieces from the 1930’s to present!
