Sunbeam introduced a new nomenclature system in 1924 which saw it offering everything from a Model 1 through to a Model 11 The majority had single-cylinder engines developing relatively low power. Although, that did not stop the marque recording a number of TT veictorires including the 1929 event. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was theRegardless of their Model designation, Marston Sunbeams were characterised by their superb fit and finish with ‘MB 236’ being no exception. Part of the vendor’s collection since 1991, he describes it as being in ‘excellemt overall’ condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The Light Tourer’s short stroke 500cc engine was famously free-revving and coupled to a 3-speed gearbox it offered impressive performance, handling and flexibility, apparently exploited to the full by the vendor during the Isle of Man Centenary celebrations! Notably, an engine of the type fitted in ‘MB’ still holds the accolade as being the last ‘side valve’ to win a TT race. Although ‘MB’ has proved to be a very reliable machine during the vendor’s ownership, he advises a routine check-over before use. ‘MB 236’ offers a good opportunity to acquire an excellent example of a much respected and lively 'flat tanker' with outstanding sporting credentials. Paperwork includes V5C and MOTs dating back to 1991 etc.
