HH wanted me to tell Avus this Sunbeam is advertised for sale in the June issue of The Classic Motorcycle. He hasn't ridden it for years, wants the room, and wants something to help pay for the little bitty car we hope to find. The car should be a smidgeon larger than the Sunbeam. All the pictures we took of it are so old they're on film instead of digital, but others have photographed it.
Photos were taken at a show and barbecue at the nearest Triumph dealer's shop. It's now a parts store because it's too costly to meet all the requirements for a dealership. HH had a lot of fun with this bike, but he's so taken with bikes he's gotten since, this one's getting nudged out, poor thing. It was purchased new in Massachusetts in 1947. The seat was hand made in around 1968 by a daughter who was a leather artist and sold leather goods at street fairs in San Francisco, though looks like it was made for a Studebaker instead of a Sunbeam. Anyway, he's excited to have the ad out, and wanted to share with you.
Here's the B-31 he's been pinion pulling at, and is planning a little solo trip with to the redwoods. This is an old photo with the silly seat that it had when he bought it (from New Zealand.) It's got a nicer seat now.
