The first OHV production Sunbeams were listed as the model 8 (350cc) and 9 (500cc) in 1924. The model 8 with bore x stroke dimensions of 70 x 90 mm was an excellent sporty tourer, but stayed somewhat in the shadow of its more glamorous big brother. 1928 was the last year that Sunbeams had flat tanks; a new feature for the year was that the oil pump was now a Sunbeam mechanical pump inside a shallow bulge on the timing case. In previous years an external Best and Lloyd pump had been fitted. This machine is an older restoration in very good condition. Selling with clear California title and with no reserve.
