1950 Sunbeam S8 496cc

Priced at £3850. This bike was in the hands of its last owner since 1972 when he purchased it as a collection of parts, enough to build up the bike, which he did a year or so after acquiring it. The bike went back on the road in the 1970's and was ridden for a couple of years before going back in the shed for a while. It was then bought out of hibernation in the 1990's and Stewart's Engineering (at that time in Warwickshire) were given the task of refurbishing the engine, gearbox and final drive. There is a large folder of paperwork which comes with the bike and contained within that folder is a substantial stack of Stewart's invoices from the 1970's and some more from the 1990's. There is also a lot of literature relating to Sunbeam maintenance in the folder. Also included are a selection of gaskets including a handy head gasket. There is also an old style log book. Comes with the latest DVLA V5C registration document, is registered for free road tax under the 'Historic Vehicle' class & has the added benefit of being MOT exempt.
