Title: Sunbeam Model 8
Post by: humber349 on March 15, 2008, 05:45:54 PM

I have a Model 8 saddle tank Sunbeam, but I do not know what year. The frame number is 505.0.593
Any ideas please?

LOOKS LIKE A 1935-1936, HAVE YOU AN ENGINE NUMBER ?
IF YOU HAVE A SUNBEAM GEARBOX ITS 1935, BURMAN BOX  IS 1936

IT IS A 1935 M8, YES THATS IS A SUNBEAM GEARBOX, IT SHOULD BE A 4 SPEED FOR 1935.
