Having established its not inconsiderable sporting credentials with sidevalve machines, Sunbeam introduced overhead-valve engines in the mid-1920s, the Model 8 '350' being a new introduction for 1929. This post-Vintage example of Sunbeam's overhead-valve Model 8 was purchased by the late owner in April 2009. There is a letter to the DVLA on file from preceding owner Jonathan Holder stating that he had acquired the Sunbeam as a renovation project from a Mr W Kerwin in 1997 and that it had remained in his garage ever since as a 'basket case'. As can be seen from the photographs, the machine is still in that condition today: dismantled and requiring complete restoration. Sold strictly as viewed, this potentially most rewarding project is offered with copies of old-style V5 and V5C documents and the aforementioned letter.
