The Sunbeam S7 and S8 were designed by Erling Poppe with styling based on the BMW R75 designs that were acquired as war reparations by BSA. The S8 incorporated slimmer wheels of then standard sports machine sizes and narrower mudguards to suit. With lighter weight and improved handling, sales quickly improved.

According to the green continuation logbook on file, 'FVY 853' was first registered on the 13th July 1957. The first recorded owner was from 1970, when it belonged to a William Croot of Langford, Somerset. The vendor acquired the machine in 2016 as a project in need of recommissioning and used his talents to improve the machine over the coming years. For a long time there was an issue with getting it running, but a eureka moment came some years later after playing with the ignition circuit. Unfortunately, the vendor has suffered a recent health issue which has put a stop to his ability to ride motorcyles and thus the Sunbeam is offered for sale and is said to be in 'running condition'. 'FVY 853' is offered with a modest history file including the green continuation logbook, UK V5C and stack of literature from Stewart Engineering detailing servicing procedures.
