1929
SUNBEAMS

 Model Range
The saddle tank Sunbeam arrives! Along with its neighbours AJS it is a year behind the other major manufacturers. This change aside, the model range remains very much as the extensive 1928 range, now in saddle tank form.

The 596cc, side-valve Model 7 is retained as a flat tank machine, intended primarily for side-car use.
