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. Introduced in the summer of 1930, the Lion replaced the earlier Model 6 and featured the innovations such as Webb pattern girder forks and a chrome tank. Post 1937 they relocated to Plumstead.
This charming Sunbeam Combination outfit, based around a Sunbeam Lion, was restored a few years ago. Used for many events since completion and in very original condition. It comes complete with V5C and an old ‘buff’ logbook. In good running order at the time of my visit, it has the added bonus of a period sidecar. Some additional paperwork and some old MOTs included.
