Sunbeam Rapier Cabriolet. Is it a Series III ? |

I have pictures of the Series III which match exactly with this one, though I don't know if there is any difference on body detail with the Series II? By the way, it's a Convertible. |

The contrasting side-flash appears to be one difference. Longer side-flash (closer to the head-lamp) and downward curve at the front is series III as in the picture, but upward curve for series II. |

The other difference is the bars in side grilles - S2 had 2 thick, S3 had 4 thinner (as here). |
