Sunbeam S8
One of the last produced and registered. As you will see from the pictures there has been some comprehensive work just carried out in June/July 2019. This was basically a head off de-coke, and due to a sticking valve guide the valves and guides were renewed along with a new Timing Chain and Cam Sprocket/Alignment Peg. I have pics that can be seen when you purchase the bike. Also the Cam and Rockers were seen to be in very sound condition with ideal profiles. What really was the icing on the cake was the condition and the super rareness of the pistons and bores. First the Pistons; these are the High(est) Compression type with the Cut Outs for the valves and this along with the bores being in first class condition make for a very rare engine indeed.
Obviously the lower part of the engine was assessed and found to be in excellent order. I have been told that a new clutch was fitted by the previous owner some 4 years ago when the gearbox and final drive had some servicing work carried out.
I have fitted the Stewart's Engineering New Amal 600/624 Carb and fitted New Front Brake shoes.
I also have the original Carb which in usable order if you want to go back to it. The Speedo was also refurbished and reset by the previous owner as these are known to be quite delicate. The bike has only covered less than 1000 miles within these 4 years and less than 100 since this last work.
I have the Service Manuals and Parts Catalogue and there are the Sunbeam clubs to help you with any issues. My work is carried out by Andrew Chapman Foxwood Motorcycles Farnham Surrey. Check his website. First Class. A complete and full service has just been done with all new oils and sump filter issues along with plugs and points/condenser and battery. The distributor was stripped and new springs inserted on the advance and retard weights and was checked that it's running with no wear on the bearings.
As for the saddle, i had it made for me as a one off by a gent the does bespoke items.
Why am i selling? I'm more of an engineer than a rider, so i'm sure somebody out there would use it more than me and i can make a start on a new project. .I want good money for it cos it's a properly decent bike. Make a proper offer and it will be yours. Payments in cash or transfer only. I could deliver anywhere in UK at an agreed price. Telephone 07768 933363 Wales £6950 ono

Sunbeam S7 Deluxe
Sunbeam S7 De-luxe (1956)
This is a nice clean and original motorcycle. It runs well and is incredibly smooth to ride.
I undertook what I class as a sympathetic restoration. So not polishing the casings up too much and keeping the original seat cover etc to retain the patina of age.
I have the UK V5 DVLA document. The Sunbeam was first register in N. Ireland and retains that number plate.
The original, green registration document and first 5, plus others tax disks are included. The disk in the tax holder is a copy of the first one 1956.
A new distributor and carburettor had just been fitted when I purchased the Sunbeam. All the tin work is original , including the tool box and air filter cover. There are tools in the toolbox (see photograph).
There is a brand new rear seat that I never fitted. The rear foot pegs are ready to bolt on.
Three sets of keys included.
You will see from the photographs that there is a great deal of documentation with the Sunbeam, including an original manual. I also have four other manuals and a Sunbeam parts book. I can understand that you probably do not want these with the motorcycle so they are not included in this sale but can be purchased if you do want them.
The rear drive unit (worm and wheel solo gearing) is in very good condition and filled with synthetic gear oil which keeps them running much cooler. I also have a good spare rear drive unit (side car gearing) if you would like to buy that.
When I bought the Sunbeam it had a blown head gasket. I fitted a new 100% copper gasket which is fine but I should have used a sealer where the oil comes up to the head because there a leak. I just roll a little piece of towelling into this are to soak it up.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Telephone 07434 835001 Coggeshall £9395

Sunbeam S8
I am selling this very nice Sunbeam S8 for a friend of mine.
It is a very clean and tidy motorcycle with some familiar mods, 624 carb, sump extension, 12 volt electrics with an alternator and a twin spark coil.
It has some marks here and there on the tinware but nothing major. All the tinware is original so no fibreglass parts. Most of the chrome parts are really good, but there are a few bits that are showing there age. There are bills going back to 1995, but nothing much recently as it has been in a private collection until my friend bought it last year.
The motorcycle is being sold due to bad health

Vincent Egli CTG £425000
1951 CTG- Egli framed Vincent twin
Built using a donor 1951 Vincent twin this bike retains its original numbers and is a genuine period machine and not a new build like most of the bikes out there at the moment and even has a buff log book in the history file
CTG built some Egli frames under licence for Slaters at one point and had ties with Egli as Cyril (the C in CTG) was a pioneer of welding techniques and equipment and claims to have helped Fritz improve his welding by sharing his expertise
Nickel plate frame, Matching Grimeca Drums front and rear, Genuine Ohlins rear suspension
This bike also boasts a superb Bob Dunn built engine which has his electric start fitted too and out of the 5 or 6 Vincents I have ridden this is by far the most powerful
The bike has been in our family since 2006 and we are only selling it to make space for a Classic car
Its a joy to own and ride and is on the button ready to go !

Sunbeam S8
Sunbeam S8. One of the last produced and registered. There's a good bit of detail in this so only read on if you are interested.
Some 5 years ago the engine/gearbox were removed and the head and top end overhauled with new valves, springs, guides, cam sprockets and chain and tensioner. Cylinder bores and pistons all good but replaced rings as a matter of course. Bottom end checked for play and bearing wear and oil pump pressure, all correct and good. For those that are aware of the distributor issues, yes it was stripped and serviced and new bob weight springs installed..The bike is completely 6 volt system and as original and runs and charges 7+ volts through the regulator.
The gearbox is spot on and clutch was replaced. Also new engine and gearbox rubber mounts fitted.
A couple of months ago i fitted the new Stewarts Special Amal 600/624 Carburettor and New Battery.
The speedo/ mileomter on these bikes can be a real pain so was repaired and zero'd and has now covered just about 900 miles. I have again just changed all the oils, engine, gearbox, diff drive and also new fork oil. The tyres are as new and along with the old carb there are a new set of front brake shoes.All the tin work and tool box etc are original as is the Number Plate.
As for roadworthyness my friendly MOT examiner can find no faults.
There is a detailed Stewarts Engineering Parts Catalogue and Sunbeam Owners Club book.
Ok, lets be straight here, she some 60 years old and the pics do flatter a bit but it's still pretty damn smart.
Agreed insurance value of £7000 with KGM at £ 65 p.a fully comp.
Of course you can make an offer, just be serious ok. I gotta sell sometime cos i've had a medical issue. No big deal but it's probably best to move the bike on now. Come and view @ NP7 Telephone 07768 933363 £6750 Wales
