Description
Classic Motorcycle for sale.
1952 Sunbeam S8 – 500cc Inline Twin
Beautiful example of a working classic bike.
I purchased and restored this bike in 2013/2014, work included:
New paint, chroming, new wiring loom, rebuilt wheels, and plenty of new parts from Stewart Engineering (I still have receipts) .
Unfortunately, the paint on the tank has started to bubble (see pictures) but still looks OK.
This is one of the most original Sunbeam S8’s you will find. With matching engine and frame number, original Amal carb. Smiths original speedo, horn, steel mudguards, tinwork etc.
It comes with handbooks, Service Sheets, Owners Manuals etc as well as some spare parts.
Since restoration and due to other projects, it has barely been used covering 300 miles in 10 years and is currently SORN.
Oil and plugs recently changed, alongside a once over by the guys at Roadster in Dover which included:
Condenser, points, headstock and carb adjustment.
She runs and rides beautifully and needs to be ridden.
More photos and videos available at request.
£4250 - no time wasters please!
