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.
This bike was restored by Tony Trumen in Derby, for the current owner. He had the bike for more than 20 years. It was purchased around 12 years ago after it had been restored. It was stored in the vendor's works office for many years until his retirement, and "it needs a new home where it can be ridden and appreciated as much as I enjoyed its company". The Sunbeam has been fitted with a BTH electronic ignition system, which makes for easier starting. It has won the best pre-war bike at Shepton, it has also been featured in Classic Bike magazine. This is a very original and correct machine. The Sunbeam has been run this month and fitted with a new battery. A current V5C is on file.
