The long stroke Sunbeam side valve single was a stalwart of the range from the early twenties for nearly twenty years. Endowed with great stamina, Sunbeam's exemplary finish and the unique "oil bath" chaincase it proved popular with tourists and sidecarists alike.
This example passed into the present owner's hands during 1984, having previously been in a relative's ownership. It was restored during the sixties and was subsequently used to attend rallies and vintage events. In more recent years it has been on display in a private collection.
The machine, which benefits from a three speed, countershaft gearbox, is presented in good overall condition. A single seat Sunbeam sidecar compliments the motorcycle and a Bonniksen speedometer is fitted. A Swansea V5 accompanies the machine, which following re-commissioning will no doubt provide the new owner with an enjoyable mount for vintage events.
