Sunbeam Cycles made by John Marston Limited of Wolverhampton, made motorcycles from 1912 to 1956. Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. The first was a 350cc in 1912 followed by a range of 500 cc 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 winning the TT races often, the last time in 1929.

A Sunbeam machine with a history yet to be uncovered, nothing is known by the vendor other than he thinks it is a 350cc and there is nothing in the way of paperwork that may be helpful to the motorcycle enthusiast detective! The engine number is visible and indicates a late 1920s manufacture, although at the time of consignment a frame number could not be found. The gearbox appears to be a later and non-original component and potentially stripped of most of its internals for track purposes. An intriguing opportunity to acquire a machine with great potential as a track machine or even a restoration project ultimately to be returned to the road!
