1955 Sunbeam S7 Motorcycle

1955 Sunbeam S7 De Luxe in Mist Green (489cc).
Registration number UAU 574 (Nottingham) (non-transferable).
Frame number S7 7392.
Engine number S8 7655.
Sold with the V5C, R.F.60 (original green log book), two keys, 1970 MOT and tax disc.
UAU 574 was first registered 10th March 1955.
UAU has known history back to 1963 when it was owned by Edward Broughton of Nottingham.
Mr. C. Hibbett owned it in 1969 and then my uncle, Mr. Keith George Bamford in 1970.
It came to him as a project for restoration for his retirement and started work on it in the mid-1980s and worked on it for many years. The work was completed in the late 1990's to the high level you can see today.
Sadly my uncles passed away shortly afterwards before any real used could be had.
I inherited the Sunbeam in his will and my name is and has been for many years on the V5C.
As long as I have owned her, she has hardly been ridden.
It is with sadness that I am letting her go to someone that will use her and get the joy my uncle never could.
The Sunbeam is as original as she can be still using points/condenser. All tinware is steel except the toolbox, this is fibreglass.
The only mods fitted are solid state voltage regulator, 6 V gel battery and a new AMAL 600 carburetor as the original would not stop leaking.
All of this work is quite recent in order to get the bike running to sell.
With the right knack, the bike starts well and ticks over lovely as you can see in the videos.
I have only ridden her for short distances many years ago and more recently up and down the 10 foot behind my garage.
Because of the length of time the bike has been laid up, the bike will be sold as seen.
I have provided as much information as I can to help you in making your decision, so please be certain that this is the bike for you. To own a piece of 1950's British Motorcycling History and a make/model that is still desirable today.
