Sunbeam historic race cars

SUNBEAM

Sunbeam, a British brand established in 1888 by John Marston, first made a name for itself manufacturing bicycles before venturing into automobiles. Renowned for its luxury and competition cars, Sunbeam has left its mark on motorsport history, taking part in endurance races, rallies and even breaking speed records. Notably, Sunbeam was the first British brand to win a Grand Prix in 1923. A fascinating anecdote is the Sunbeam 1000 HP, the first vehicle to exceed 200 mph in 1927, embodying the brand's spirit of innovation and quest for performance.
