Thought you may be interested in these two articles from the 70s.
Bob McKnight was a interesting person and had an old Sunbeam in his engineering workshop for many years.
Mark Moody used to work for him and later Randy Dutschke, ARMAC.
When he sold this monster of a car and it was restored it was brought back for a visit to Maitland.
These two articles tell you a little about it.
Warm regards,
Bob and Jen.
