SUNBEAM MODEL 8 Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The 1924 OHV Model 8 featured overhead valves for the first time on a Sunbeam. These were controlled by triple return springs. An EIC magneto was fitted, and an AMAC carburettor. Engine lubrication was by the Sunbeam-patented fully enclosed automatic dry-sump system. The standard fuel tank also had an oil compartment, but an optional separate oil tank could be ordered, giving increased petrol capacity.
