Restoring the Sunbeam 1000hp

Restoration of the Sunbeam 1000hp was the topic of our January 2024 Transport Torque evening at our Collections Centre lecture theatre. A near full-house enthralled by a fascinating story and British engineering excellence. Richard Noble OBE, holder of the land speed record between 1983 and 1997 and the project director of ThrustSSC, the vehicle which holds the current land speed record, joined us for our Transport Torque. Hear also from the Museum’s Doug Hill and Ian Stanfield about the efforts to restore the impressive car, as well as Dr Jon Murden our Chief Executive and Ken Robinson was the manager at Beaulieu in the 1970s and 1980s.
