Priced at SOLD. Registered on the 16th of February 1953 in Cardiff, this outstanding example of Sunbeams in line twin was purchased by the last Suffolk owner in 2015, only selling the Sunbeam as his collection has reached the limit of the space he has available! Here is what he has told us about the machine.
Sunbeam S7 Deluxe
HBO 485
I've owned it for 10 years. Fully rebuild by SOF stalwart Clive Martin in 2016. Complete engine, gearbox, dynamo etc. Recipts in the file over £3,000. In 2022 it had a new Borg clutch and they changed the crank seals and the gearbox seals at the same time. Done 6,000 miles in 10 years with absolutely no problems.
Cold start - choke on, no throttle, fuel on, tickle, ignition on, kick 3 times and off she goes.
Hot start - fuel on, ignition on, kick once and she will go.
Have fun!
Comes with a current DVLA V5C registration document, is registered under the 'Historic Vehicle' class for free road tax & has the added perk of being MOT exempt.
