Sunbeam S8 1950.

I’ve owned and ridden this bike for over 25 years but unfortunately it is now is too heavy for me. This is one of the most genuine original Sunbeams you will find; it still runs reliably on the original 6-volt dynamo and distributor ignition system. It is fitted with all the original cycle parts including the correct levers and switches, accessories, horn, lights etc and a period sprung pillion seat. The black paintwork is all very good including the original steel mudguards. The engine has the desirable high compression pistons and rare strengthened valve cover.

The bike has been regularly seen at SOF events and is an increasingly rare original Registration, frame and engine number bike complete with all documentation and manuals etc. Located in Hants but can deliver up to about 75 miles.
