Seller's comments about 1923' Sunbeam 14/40

A low mileage,exceptionally original motor car. Sunbeam made excellent cars noted for their quality and refinement. This example has a full history file and is in superb original condition. One of the first 14/40`s built. On the button reliable starting,wonderful car to drive, full weather equipment, original upholstery, auster screen, original luggage rack,this is one of the best.First registered on 7th December 1923,a very early 14/40 with the wonderful low radiator, Sunbeam upswept scuttle, 2120cc overhead valve engine and 4 wheel brakes. The car cruises a 40 to 45mph and will return around 25mpg. Current mileage reading 17870 miles only with enough documentary evidence to prove this is genuine as well as it`s mechanical condition.
