Gerald sent us these pictures of his newly completed immaculate and very original Sunbeam. The bike is 1952 S7 Deluxe, I'm the 3rd owner from new. It has 44000 miles on it. The previous owner was a friend of my fathers from the age of 14 so i know and have a lot of the previous history of the bike. I bought it in 1999 and dismantled it in 2012 and reassembled in 2023 |
|||||||
Little Miss Sunshine (my 1952 Sunbeam S8) I am very pleased with the way she turned out. I got numerous compliments about her whenever I stopped that day, even for traffic lights. This Sunbeam of mine has come a long way since being built in Reddich, England, sold to a dealer in Ramsgate, England, back in 1952, then exported to the United States where she spent time in numerous states and now here in, Vernon, BC, Canada. Huh!! At the end of this month is a large international swap meet I have been asked to attend in the Vancouver region of BC. I hope to have her on display there, her very first showing. So it will be dependant on the road and weather conditions at that time. It’s about a 700 mile drive, usually a 3 days time period, over mountains between here and there. Yesterday we had another 6” snowfall on the hills around here. JIM Dave bought KNM664 from ‘Hallens of Cambridge’ in May ‘55. He sold her in Swindon before moving to Guernsey in ‘60. Through the SOF we discovered she existed in ‘82 but it was another 22 years before her owner in Huddersfield agreed to sell her to me. Dave fitted touring equipment once again and age 73 he rode KNM664 another 8167 miles between ‘05 and ‘14; he loved every minute! |
