Sunbeam Cycles, made by John Marston Limited of Wolverhampton, diversified into motorcycle manufacture from 1912 to 1956. A wide variety of models were fielded over those forty-four years. 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; 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 with handling sufficient to win the TT often, the last time in 1929.
On offer is a 1921 Sunbeam Model 2, purchased by the vendor some four years ago as an unfinished project with very little needed to complete. Since his ownership, the Sunbeam has been checked over and is now running and wearing a freshly painted tank. The Sunbeam is described by the vendor as a Model 2 and correspondence with the Sunbeam Register regarding the machine is on file. It has not been used in the last year and may need some checking over before putting it back on the road. It is being offered with a current V5C, Bruce Main-Smith sales catalogue and DVLA correspondence.
