Description

HI AND WELCOME TO MY AUCTION !!

 

1949 SUNBEAM S8 500CC

IN ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH MATCHING PAPERWORK

THIS BIKE RUNS AND RIDES WELL. WITH THE ONLY FAULT BEING A WORN UJ ON THE SHAFT DRIVE REAR.

GOOD TYRES AND CABLES ETC. I HAVE RUN OUT ON IT A FEW TIMES BUT ONLY LOCALLY. ALWAYS SEEMS TO START WITH EASY CONSIDERING THE AGE AND HAS NO OIL LEAKS ETC.

IN MY OPINION. THE BIKE IS IN TOO GOOD OF A CONDITION TO RESTORE. DESPITE MARKS AND BLEMISHES ON THE PAINTWORK( PLUS A FEW BLISTERS) IT IS IN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD NICK CONSIDERING THE AGE.

THE REAR WHEEL/HUB ASSEMBLY IS STILL THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS A WEAK POINT TO THE BIKES BUT LUCKILY THIS ONE MUST HAVE BEEN CARED FOR THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE AS THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WEAR TO IT AT ALL APART FROM THE UJ AS I STATED.

ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE I ALSO HAVE SOME HISTORY FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS. TAX DISCS AND AN ORIGINAL AND STAMPED UP PETROL RATION BOOK FROM ITS EARLY DAYS OF MOTORING!!

APART FROM WELCOMING A VIEWING ON THIS BIKE. THERE ISNT MUCH MORE TO SAY! THIS WOULD BE A NICE PROJECT / COLLECTABLE FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS THE TIME FOR IT. BUT UNFORTUNATLEY I AM HAVING TO SELL MY COLLECTION DUE TO RENOVATING MY HOUSE.

AS I STATED. VIEWING IS MORE THEN WELCOME. I WORK LOCAL MOSTLY WITHIN THE WEEK OR CAN BE AROUND AT EVENINGS OR WEEKENDS. THE KETTLE IS ALWAYS ON !

IF YOU REQUIRE ANY MORE INFO OR WOULD LIKE TO VIEW . PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL ME
