Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. 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. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was the superb quality and finish in Black with Gold-leaf pinstriping.

Offered here, is an older restoration that has not been run for a few years, so it will need the usual checks before use. We have been advised it is in ‘good order cosmetically’ and also thought to be ‘mechanically good’. With family ownership since 1995, it is known to have completed both Land’s End to John O’Groats and Edinburgh to York trips in that year. Sunbeam motorcycles are highly respected for both quality and specification, their OHV vintage machines being particularly revered by enthusiastic riders and ‘UO’ offers an outstanding opportunity to acquire such a machine with a good history and in nicely mellowed condition. The paperwork file includes a delightfully handwritten service notebook, old MOTs and tax discs etc.
