The first motorcycle to be produced at the Wolverhampton workshops of Sunbeam proprietor John Marston, who had been a manufacturer of high-quality enamel item, pedal cycles and, from 1912, automobiles. It was at the 1921 French GP that the marque's soon to be famous long-stroke side-valve engine clocked up a debut win for rider Alec Bennett. Powering Sunbeam road machines, this legendary motor was then to remain in production until WW2.

This 1922 Sunbeam Model 7 has been in the same family for over 60 years. It was fully restored over forty years ago and used and enjoyed since its completion. It has competed in countless VMCC events over the years and many Banbury runs since the 1960s. Not run for a while, and dry stored, it will need to be recommissioned before use. It has good compression and would not take too much to get it running and fit for the road. It comes complete with a current V5C. There is a BMS photocopy of the handbook, a couple of old pictures and offered complete with the overcoat and helmet used by the vendor's father.
