Sunbeam Cycles made by John Marston Limited of Wolverhampton, made motorcycles from 1912 to 1956. Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. The first was a 350 cc in 1912 followed by a range of 500 cc singles and some V-twins. In 1924, a new model numbering system was introduced; Sunbeam Models 1 through 11. Other higher-numbered models were produced in later years. The majority had single-cylinder engines developing relatively low power, though winning the TT races often, the last time in 1929. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was the superb quality and finish in black with gold-leaf pinstriping.
This 1919 Sunbeam 3 1/2hp has been in partnership with the vendor's 1922 model and again has formed part of his life and riding to many VMCC events and other rallies. The vendor informs us that it has always been a pleasure to ride and has given him many happy memories along the way. Restored over 20 years ago and holding up well. We have been advised the Sunbeam is running well. It comes complete with a current V5C and a VMCC dating certificate.
