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.

First registered on 19th January 1951 and offered from a deceased estate, the Sunbeam has been in current family ownership since 2015. There are a number of old invoices from the Sunbeam specialist Stewart Engineering, parts information, Sunbeam owner's workshop manual, maintenance manual and an original instruction manual. Also accompanying are a selection of old MOT certificates, an old buff logbook and old style V5s. Believed to have been previously supplied by dealer, John Surtees of West Wickham, Kent '206 UYN' is understood to have not been run in the last 18 months and is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.
