| 3. Samuel Bergman Sunbeam S8
|
| On the only one running S7 DeLuxe in Israel.
My Sunbeam S8, one of the three existent bikes in Israel, is a twin over head camshaft 500 CC engined, drive shafted, very diferent motorcycle.
Found in a Kibbutz in 1987, dismantled and incomplete, is my most interesting restoration I ever made. The restoration begun in 1986, but after many years of pause, I returned to the job in november 2003. |

7. Sunbeam DT90
 |
| This "Sunbeam" was formerly ridden by the legendary Gus Khunn and was the first Sunbeam to appear on the Dirt Track circuits.
The DT90 had a twin port engine but this was quickly superceded by a single-port model.

| 9. Sunbeam Model 9/2 1930
|
| Not just a recent show winner, Brian Matthew's 'Beam probably also started life on a show stand back at Olympia over 70 years ago...
Isn't this bike a beaut? It was judged to be one of the best at last autumn's Stinkwheel Show at Beaumanor Hall, where it collected the award for Best in Class of its era. Owner Brian Matthews is rightly proud; this is a well cared-for example of the best of British craftsmanship, conceived and executed before the industry collapsed into the Great Depression.

| 18. Sunbeam S7 Deluxe (1953)
|
| The Sunbeam S7 was designated as the “Machine of the Future” following World War ll. Built in BSA’s Small Heath Works in Birmingham from 1948 to 1956, the S7 was designed by Erling Poppe as an exercise in adopting automobile theory to motorcycle design. The Sunbeam S7 was a unique departure from post-war motorcycle architecture with its inline, twin cylinder, overhead cam, dry clutch, shaft-drive and rubber mounted engine. The engine is a 487cc in-line, air-cooled twin, with all-alloy construction, right-side shift and coil/distributor ignition. Power is transferred through a car-type final drive shaft and through a right angle to the back wheel. The heart of the bike’s charm is its engine.
