The Gentleman's Machine: 1950 Sunbeam S7 de luxe
| Bought: | 1994 |
| Original Mileage: | 43,000 mi. |
| Current Mileage: | 46,000 mi. |
One of the best motorcycle investments I've ever made is my 1950 Sunbeam (KOX 505). This bike has providence all the way back to the original owner who bought the bike November 18, 1950.
I had quite the experience registering it in Canada even though it was imported 25 years before I bought it. If anyone out there needs advice on registering imported motorcycles I now know the steps. You can contact me at brad@hks.ca.
Look here for scans of the original parts list.
My friend from Crabsnabble Inc. (SFX firm here in Toronto) is doing some work on KOX 505. Check out the progress!
Below are photos of the old gentleman himself:
