1928 Sunbeam Model 8, 350 cc. Registration number PP 7991. Frame number C1391. Engine number 273/23250. Sunbeam had begun experimenting with overhead valves on their factory racers in the early 1920s and these duly appeared on production models in 1924. The new 500 roadster was known as the Model 9 while its race bike counterpart, which could top 90mph, was accordingly designated the Model 90. The 350cc versions were the Model 8 and Model 80 respectively. The John Greenwood design was advanced for its day, with a specification which included a crankshaft supported by three ball-bearings, dry-sump lubrication, and primary drive enclosed in a cast alloy chain case. Power was transmitted by single-row chain to a three-speed, 'cross-over drive' gearbox with offside power takeoff. The overhead-valve models' frame and cycle parts, which had much in common with those of Sunbeam's larger side-valve models, evolved slowly. Sunbeam missed the industry's virtually wholesale switch from flat-tank to saddle-tank frames for the 1928 season, and a saddle-tank version of the Models 8 and 9 did not appear until September of that year. Changes to the overhead-valve engine were confined mainly to its top-end. The early flat-tankers featured a straight-ahead exhaust port, a peculiarity which necessitated the adoption of a bifurcated down-tube. Later on in the 1920s Sunbeam followed the then-fashionable trend to twin-port 'heads before reverting to a single-port design. M9's didn?t get the two port head until 1929, single port heads were an option right through to 1931, then it was two-port only through to 1935. Pushrod enclosure had arrived by 1930 to be followed a couple of years later by partial enclosure of the rocker gear. PP is a late flat tank example before the change to saddle tank and has Model 1 crank cases fitted. Registered with the DVLA in 1978, it was owned by Ian Young of Gloucester in 2012 before selling it to our vendors father in 2013. An older restoration it is presented in oily rag condition. Sold with the V5C. Please note that this Sunbeam was sold by Bonhams in April 2012 http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19766/lot/325/
1973 BSA A65 Lightning, 650cc. Registration number CTC 718M. Frame number A65LEE08883. Engine number A65LEE08883. BSA turned to unit construction for its range of parallel twins as the 1960s dawned, launching the all-new 500cc A50 and 650cc A65 in January 1962. The basic architecture of the preceding A7/A10 was retained, so the new engine remained an air-cooled parallel twin with 360-degree crankshaft and single camshaft mounted at the rear of the cylinder block. The first high-performance variant, the A65R Rocket, arrived in October of '63, aimed squarely at America's speed-obsessed throttle jockeys. It was superseded the following year by the yet-faster Lightning 650, first of the BSA unit-construction twins to be equipped with the new splayed-port cylinder head fitted with twin carburettors. Cycle World's editors really liked the Lightning out on the open road. "It is a sumptuous, torquey machine suited to a wide open highway where it can stretch its legs," they wrote. "It?s smooth, quiet gearbox, good muffling and excellent powerband all contribute to fatigue-free riding for hours on end." Produced through 1970, the A65s are considered to be the last of the classic BSA twins, as first the Rocket III triple, then the oil-in-frame 650 met with mixed market response, no doubt hastening the company's demise in 1973. CTC was first registered with the DVLA in June 2019 having being imported from Denmark. The machine is one of the last to run off the production line with the oil in the frame configuration. The bike also benefits from an owner fitted external screw on oil filter. Sold with V5C and two ignition keys.
A Sunbeam engine built to Model 90 specification, c.1928, believed rebuilt, number N 1014 A. It has been drawn to the auctioneer’s attention that the oil feed entry points are inconsistent with those of a Model 9/90, featuring for instance the earlier quill entry in the front of the crankcases. The “A” suffix of the engine number stamping, N1014A, was not used by Sunbeam in the marking of their engines. We note that engine N1014 is extant and has always been in a well known 1927 Model 90. The twin port Model 90 cylinder head is from a 1928 machine, where the inlet stub was angled so that the carburettor would clear the new wedge shaped oil tank. Case castings were the same for 1927/28 years. We conclude that the engine has been built up to Model 90 specification and may have used Model 9 and Model 90 parts.
