wow they are very similar. Here's a side-by-side:



Sunbeam was a brand under the Rootes Group, which also held the Singer, Humber, Matra, Simca, and Hillman marque. Rootes Group was later purchased by Chrysler. Here are some links:

I'm just back from two weeks in Ukraine. What an experience! Saw some interesting rides there too. Can't wait to get back on this. Should be out there by Thursday (gotta work first).
