Sunbeam Cycles made by John Marston Limited of Wolverhampton was a British brand of bicycles and, from 1912 to 1956 motorcycles. On John Marston's death after the First World War it was bought by Nobel Industries, Nobel became ICI. Associated Motor Cycles bought it in 1937; then, BSA bought Sunbeam in 1943. Sunbeam Cycles is most famous for its S7 balloon-tyred shaft-drive motorcycle with an overhead valve in-line twin engine.
This late vintage Sunbeam has been owned for the last 20 years. Whilst in the vendor’s ownership, work has been carried out on the engine and gearbox. There are many bills for work carried out during that time, including a new crank, rebore and piston and rings, valves, guides bearings, and much more. Used on many Sunbeam and vintage events since completed. It comes complete with a current V5C and some spares. Also included in the sale in this lot, is its own trailer made by the late vendor.
