Good Morning,
Just joined the Club as I will be looking for a Pre-War Sunbeam after the Summer, Always liked the look of the Sunbeams but very little knowledge of them although my Dad used to like them. So any advice appreciated and pointers what books to read (yes i still prefer to read a book).
I have had lots of Post War BSA's Triumphs and Nortons from 50's to 70's and currently have an unrestored original 1949 AJS 16M as well as several other Bikes but do fancy something pre-war and, preferably oily rag/un :) restored.

Welcome to the club, Stevie! The following books are a good start:
- "The Book of the Sunbeam 1928-1939" by Leslie K. Heathcote
- "Sunbeam Motor Cycle Instruction Book" by Sunbeam Motorcycles Ltd.
- "The Sunbeam Motorcycle" by Robert Cordon Champ
- "The Illustrated History of Sunbeam Bicycles and Motorcycles" by Robert Cordon Champ
And of course, all information in the club website.
Cheers, Thomas
We have all Sunbeam manuals, Spares lists and catalogues available on the Shop, also new copies of Bob Champ's Book on Sunbeam history. The other ones recommended are all available on e-bay.
