The rare Six-Speed Sunbeam is in good all round condition, with both of its gears fully functional. Though its transfer (decal) on the steering head identifies it as a Royal, it has the handlebar grips and steering head lock that we usually associate with a Golden; this occurred in some years of production.
The paintwork is unrestored in very good original condition. The grip cap on the left side of the handlebar is damaged. But it has a very rare oiler that fits into the front end of the seat post, under the saddle; these were standard fittings on a Royal Sunbeam though very few have survived..
The saddle is a rare Brooks Model B49 which was supplied exclusively for Sunbeams, and the pedals are the usual ‘four-bar’ rubber type that are standard on an early Sunbeam. The Six-Speed was serviced earlier this year and is ready to ride.
