Other All Motorcycles in Oceanport

This bike was discovered in Egypt in 2005. Sunbeam motorcycles of this era were used by the British military as part of the contingent that secured the railway in Damascus during the Palestine Revolt in the mid '30s. I have been told that the oil pump and lack of speedometer (front hub is not machined to accept the speedo drive) are unusual for the model, and may be attributed to military specification that precluded what were otherwise standard offerings for that time period.  When it was unearthed in a dusty warehouse, it hadn't been seen in decades, and the original girder front forks were long gone- having been appropriated for a BSA M20.
