BSA Sunbeam description

This is a great survivor bike, Early S7 VIN 868. Matching Frame, engine, trans and rear gear. The bike runs excellent, I drove it from Pennsylvania to Florida this last summer. I took off the saddle bags and rear rack to put on a pylon so my wife could ride with me. I have rebuilt the Carb, put a new wiring harness front to back, new distributor (original comes with bike) and new rubber. I put on an original air cleaner, spark plug cover and tool box. The bike came with a 48 Harley taillight, other than that it looks totally original.

If you know Sunbeams you will know this bike, it is extremely rare. Early S7s are very hard to find especially here in the states. This one has all the patina you want in an old bike. Mechanically it runs fantastic, starts easily and idles smooth. I have a video of a cold kick start on youtube. go to YouTube and search "1948 sunbeam S7"

Ask plenty of questions, I am open to some trades as well, only pre 70's complete cars, trucks or bikes, in running order or close to it.

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.
