Sunbeam Model 8 350cc OVER HEAD VALVE 1928

SUNBEAM MODEL 8 350cc OHV 1928

THIS BIKE HAS HAD ONLY ONE PREVOIUS OWNER FROM NEW IN 1928.

THIS IS A VERY NICE ORIGINAL CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE. RESTORED IN THE EARLY 1970s AND LAST USED ON THE ROAD IN 1973. THE BIKE HAS BEEN DRY STORED SINCE THEN.

I DID HAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING LAST SUMMER AND IT SOUNDED GOOD BUT SINCE THEN IT HAS STOPPED SPARKING.

THE BRAKES. GEARS. CLUTCH ETC. ALL WORK WELL. THE BIKE IS FITTED WITH A E. I. C MAG. WHICH ALTOUGH VERY CLEAN MAY NOW REQUIRE A REWIND.

THE ENGINE ITSELF IS NICE AND CLEAN. NO BROKN FINS ANYWHERE AND NO CHIPS OR DAMAGE TO THE CRANK CASES.

THIS IS AN OPEN VALVE ENGINE FITTEDWITH A LONG NECK CARB AND REMOTE FLOAT

THIS SUNBEAM IS A HAND CHANGE MODEL AND HAS A 3 SPEED GEARBOX

THE PAINTWORK IS STILL QUITE TIDY BUT DOES HAVE SOME CHIPS HERE AND THERE.

THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN REBUILT SOME TIME AGO. THE RIMS AND SPOKES ARE STILL GOOD SO TO ARE THE TYRES

THIS IS A LOVELY OLD MOTORCYCLE HAVING HAD JUST ONE OWNER FOR THE LAST 86 YEARS

THE BIKE COMES WITH V5 AND IS MOT AND TAX EXCEMPT
