Corgi 1/43 Chrysler Sunbeam WRW 29S Works development car Bernard Unett and Terry Harryman VA11304
Overview Specification Further Info Chrysler UKs competition manager Des ODell immediately saw the Avenger based, but smaller and more nimble, Sunbeam had great potential as a competition car. Before the car had even been launched his department had built two prototypes, WRW 30S and WRW 29S. Whilst 30S developed into the first Lotus engined car and eventually into a full Group 4 machine, 29S was intended to replace the Group 1 Avenger as an amateur or clubman customers car. It was fitted with a 2-litre Brazilian-blocked pushrod overhead-valve engine mated to a close ratio four-speed Avenger gearbox. It was used to help chassis development and entered many events during 1978.
