The Sunbeam concern had been acquired by BSA during 1943 and a new machine bearing the Sunbeam name was described to the press in early 1946. It was intended as the "group flagship" and consequently Erling Poppe designed a machine that incorporated many innovative features. The short-stroke, overhead cam, in line twin cylinder engine was mated to a shaft final drive via a four-speed gearbox with an under slung "worm" gear transmitting the drive to the rear wheel. The all alloy engine and gearbox were mounted in a duplex frame equipped with plunger rear suspension, telescopic forks, 16 inch balloon tyres and sprung saddle. However, issues resulted in the models release being delayed until 1947.

On offer is the more desirable S7 model of the Sunbeam range. This S7 was purchased by the current owner for his late father, who sadly never got a chance to ride it. Some general restoration work was carried out with the body work, frame and cosmetics being refinished in 2018, Since then it has had an extensive engine rebuild by Foxwood Engineering. The Carb has had a full restoration in 2023 by the Sunbeam Fellowships leading carburetor expert. This S7 just needs commissioning now to give many years of pleasure to a new owner. It is offered complete with a current V5C and sundry receipts for parts.
