Sunbeam Model 9 500cc - owned by David Eyles of Southampton.

This painting is unique and original and was painted entirely by me. The motorcycle was seen at the Gloucester Steam Fair in 2012. The background I have added is the entry door to the cemetry outside Beckford's tower at Lansdown, Bath. It took 85 hours to paint and is priced at £1,200. Postage is £45 max.

1932 Sunbeam Model 9 500cc. The Sunbeam motorcycle marquee was started by John Marston in Wolverhampton. The brand became famous for the quality of its paintwork, using it’s own paint formulae. ICI bought the company to acquire the technology.  In 1924 Sunbeam machines replaced side valve technology with overhead valves, the model becoming known as the Model  9.
