Lot details

Registration No: TL 977

  • From The Fred Evans Collection
  • Previously owned by Murray’s Motorcycle Museum
  • A real ‘old warrior’ that has seen much use
  • Part of a collection of pre-war machines

Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. The first was a 350cc in 1912 followed by a range of 500cc singles and some V-twins. In 1924 a new model numbering system was introduced with Sunbeam Models named 1 through to 11. Other higher-numbered models were produced in later years. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was the superb quality and finish in Black with Gold-leaf pin-striping.

On offer is a 1930 Sunbeam Model 9, a machine once owned by the famous 'Murray's Motorcycle Museum' on the Isle of Man. Purchased from there by the late vendor some 20 years ago, he used it for a short time before placing it into his collection of pre-war machines. It has certainly had some use over its life and is a great ‘old warrior’, complete with its battle scars. We have been informed that it has been running recently and could still be used 'as is', in ‘oily rag’ condition. The Sunbeam is being offered with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates.
