Vintage Stuff: Sunbeam

About Vintage Stuff

The aim of Vintage Stuff is to display some of the ephemera that I have collected, often inadvertently, over the years. I am now deliberately seeking out interesting old adverts, screen shots, leaflets, obscure record covers, picture postcards and illustrations; anything that catches my eye, in fact. They will be mainly, but not exclusively of UK origin (so many vintage blogs appear to be American) and almost always a scan from something that I actually have in my collection, rather than off the net. If you do re-blog, please acknowledge the source. Further stuff, mainly photographs, can be found on my Flickr pages, via the Benny Hill record cover.

Alcan

This advert for Alcan aluminium products appeared on the back cover of a guide to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, published in 1972. It features Malcolm Campbell's record-breaking 350hp Sunbeam racer of 1920, from a splendid painting by Michael Turner (b.1934). The car has been part of the collection since it's arrival in 1958 and was running again in 2014, following a period of extensive restoration.
