1913 Sunbeam 3 litre

I took this photograph at the Doune Museum in Perthshire which we visited when on a family holiday in Scotland in August 1996.

The museum description of the car reads as follows:

'A replica of the earlier French Grand Prix racers. This car was bought new in 1913 for the son of a Galloway family. When he was killed in 1914 or 1915, during the First World War, his mother ordered that the car be buried. It received its first Log Book in 1974, having been recovered after being struck by a plough. The engine was still free, and after restoration, the car went on to take part in hill climbs, including Doune, and other events.'
