The Sunbeam S7 and S8 are British motorcycles designed by Erling Poppe with styling loosely based on the BMW R75 designs that were acquired as war reparations by BSA (full rights to the Sunbeam brand had been acquired from AMC in 1943). The S8, without altering the basic design, incorporated slimmer wheels of then standard sports machine sizes and had narrower mudguards to suit. The lighter weight and improved handling revealed what a good machine the S8 really was and sales quickly improved.
The Sunbeam S8 on offer was restored a few years ago by the previous owner who used it since its completion. We have been informed that it is running well and rides as it should. It comes complete with a current V5C.
