From Register to Club & Register


The Marston Sunbeam Register commenced with the backing of Marston Palmer, the successor to John Marston's original company. Staff voluntarily put in time and effort to set up and run the register and complete the restoration of the Marston collection of machines. The collection is now housed at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley in the UK where they are regularly run around the museum site. And that's very much what we are about at the club - supporting owners in getting together and keeping their machines running whilst allowing the public a chance to see - and in the case of the motorcycles to hear! - these fine machines.
