| Description |
Sunbeam always made good quality cars and were particularly noted during the Edwardian period for their 12/16 model. This car is a direct descendant of the
12/16 which will become immediately apparent when you open the bonnet and inspect the (just over) 3 litre 4 cylinder engine which is smartly presented snd mechanically very good, being smooth quiet and powerful . The four speed gearbox is very easy to use with the high top gear so typical of Edwardian cars which makes for very easy cruising. The steering is light and positive and the brakes are also very good.
It has very comfortable four seat open touring coachwork which, like the mechanicals, is in excellent condition with good paintwork, uphosltery, carpets, hood and side screens. It also has the extra bonus of a fold away Auster windscreen to help keep the rear passengers warm on cold days!
This is a car which just can't fail to leave you with the impression that it will just keep on going, in fact on my test run the Sunbeam encouraged me to just want to keep on driving and gave the impression that it would keep motoring on no matter how far I went - but I guess that's Sunbeam build quality for you!
