The first motorcycle to be produced at the Wolverhampton workshops of Sunbeam proprietor John Marston, who had been a manufacturer of high-quality enamel items, pedal cycles and, from 1912, automobiles. It was at the 1921 French Grand Prix 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 1926 Sunbeam Model 7 was restored by the previous owner to a good standard, since its completion it has been used on many vintage events since. The engine was rebuilt by Chris Odling. The Sunbeam benefits from the hard to find four speed gearbox. The current vendor has advised us the Sunbeam is running very well and has lots of power when needed. The sidecar was manufactured by Grindlay and is a rare survivor today, this was restored at the same time as the Sunbeam. It comes complete with a current V5C, a file with receipts for parts and work carried out and a dating certificate from the Marston Sunbeam Club.
