Description
1934 Sunbeam Twenty-Five 4-Door Saloon
A distinguished and well-maintained example of pre-war British motoring excellence
This elegant 1934 Sunbeam Twenty-Five Saloon embodies the luxury and craftsmanship that defined Sunbeam during the early 1930s. Powered by the marque’s smooth 3. 3-litre straight-six engine and paired with a four-speed manual gearbox featuring synchromesh on the upper ratios, the Twenty-Five delivers refined, effortless performance — a hallmark of Sunbeam’s engineering pedigree.
Finished in classic blue coachwork with contrasting wings, the paint presents as very respectable throughout, showing only gentle patina consistent with careful use. The car is structurally sound and rust-free, reflecting years of attentive ownership and ongoing maintenance.
Mechanically, this Sunbeam is in very good condition. The engine fires up smoothly and settles into a quiet, confident idle. Having personally driven the car, we can confirm it is an absolute pleasure on the road — the gears engage cleanly, the clutch feels precise, and the hydraulic brakes inspire confidence.
Inside, the cabin remains tidy and presentable, trimmed in period-style leather with a polished walnut dashboard and door cappings that showcase the elegance of 1930s craftsmanship. The overall impression is one of a genuinely well-sorted classic that’s ready for enjoyable use or gentle show presentation.
