[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] 2011 Cars of the Rootes Group Calendar

[V and R Hughes]

As in the past few years, I have again organized a "Cars of the Rootes
Group" calendar for the coming year. This year it's available quite a bit
earlier than in the past, mainly so that people have plenty of time to hear
about it (and get it) before 2011 actually starts.

The Calendar is A4 Size, spiral bound, full colour, one page per month (plus
cover), printed on quality paper (actually light card). I organise it on a
not-for-profit basis, purely for the enjoyment of the many Rootes owners I
know, both personally and through various groups/forums like this one. This
year, many thanks to Sid Mosdell for the pic of his ST90

 

The Cars
There are 13, one for each month plus the cover. In the Sunbeam edition, 5
of these are Sunbeams. There is also a very nice 1934 Talbot, with obvious
links to later Sunbeams.  The remainder are Humbers (4) Hillmans (2) and a
Singer. You can see small, low resolution versions at this link.

There are two other (slightly different) versions for those with Hillman or
Humber tastes; contact me if interested.

Printing & Ordering
As in the past, it is being printed by Lulu Publishing in the USA. Lulu
provides a `print on demand' service which means that they do not hold large
stocks of pre-printed calendars - they are printed and dispatched as orders
are placed. You can buy any number of calendars from one to a hundred. Cost
of a single calendar is US$12.50 plus postage; For 5 calendars or more it is
US$10 each plus postage (and it's cheaper again for 25 or more).

 
If you are in Australia and want to buy fewer than 5, let me know. I will be
placing a bulk order and will be able to get them to you cheaper than you
buying them direct. However, if buying more than 5 (Say if your club wants
some) - buy them direct from Lulu as you will get them cheaper and faster.


If buying direct from Lulu, be aware that they have a range of postage
options some of which are quite expensive - look for the budget option, and
allow about 3 weeks from order date for printing and delivery. 
This is the link to buy them direct from Lulu

The calendar will remain on sale until well into the new year.

Subject: Re: [Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Convoluted Hose

 

Bill,

 

I used Wyrem hose that I bought from Arco, the industrial equipment
supplier.  See
http://www.arco.co.uk/cgi-bin/arcobvp.dll/Arco/controller?event=product
<http://www.arco.co.uk/cgi-bin/arcobvp.dll/Arco/controller?event=product&pro
ductcode=3659051> &productcode=3659051

 

It's available in a diameter that's fractionally larger than the air filter
inlet. It's a matt black fabric finish with a single yellow stripe along its
length, and has a wire coil inside to give it strength.   I just turned the
yellow out of sight and it looks very authentic.  Arco only sell this in 9m
lengths unless you catch them with an end-of-roll piece or offcut as I did,
but there are probably other suppliers of the same thing.

 

I did suggest to Bamforths that they buy in 9m lengths and sell it on to
Sunbeamers in short lengths, but they didn't pursue it.

 

Richard

Any UK listers know where I can get some convoluted hose ? Its 
the 70mm ID x 500mm (approx) hose from the Air Filter elbow on top 
of the carb to the Oil bath, item 252 page 27 of the parts manual.

I think it should be the fabric type rather than plastic.

Any ideas where I can get a piece .. I have tried the Web and 
Bamforths but no luck so far.
