Technical data

The fellowship magazine and this web-site often get requests from people hoping to locate machines loved, lost, but never forgotten. The Fellowship will do all it can to put past owners back in touch with their old bikes, or at least aid them in there search for Sunbeams lost.

The Sunbeam Owners Fellowship has been running for over 40 years, from it's formation the Fellowship has periodically compiled a register of it's members bikes. As such, we have amassed a large collection of Sunbeam ownership data. Aditionally all the 'beams in attendence at the annual rallies over the past ten years have been logged. Between the members we have a comprehencive catelogue of information published on Sunbeams, including feactures, articles, photos and adverts. If all the paper work fails to locate your bike, then our collective memories will be racked to see if anyone remembers your Sunbeam visiting an early rally, or any other event.

Obviously, whilst we are happy to help you trace your 'beam, The Sunbeam Owners Fellowship will not give out private information on new owners etc, without their express permission.

A Sunbeam S7

<-- Dave in the 1950's.


Sunbeam Owners Fellowship member Dave owned KNM 664, a S7 deluxe, from 1955 to 1959. His son Paul was able to use the Sunbeam Register to find this bike, the story of their reuniting in 2004 is exactly the type of searching that we enjoy getting involved in.
