About this car

This 1933 Sunbeam 18 hp is described as the last of the vintage Sunbeams. It was built on the old parallel chassis, which was soon replaced by the cruciform design. That makes it a late example of a car from a period when Sunbeam was changing direction.

It was registered in Wolverhampton on 25 March 1933 and delivered to Wessex Motors of Salisbury in early April. Its first owner was a Mr Lloyd of Melksham. The most recent keeper had it for about 12 years.

Recent work includes new valves, a refaced cylinder head, a new radiator core and rebuilt starter and dynamo, all carried out by Jim Catnach. The dealer describes the car as very original and sound. It is eligible for VSCC events.
