Nice to see such groups exist Phil, I would be happy with any of those bikes along side the Zed in the garage. Sounds like they could do with a few younger members too, just to keep the group going. :shock: :shock:

OLD ? if you want old you need to go to a Sunbeam owners club rally. I went with my dad and HE was the one of the youngest there and hes seventy two !!!! I have seen younger fossil collections. My old man sold some bits to one of the members when he was 19 and he was asking him about them :shock: :shock: :shock: I cant remember where I put my car keys when I came in an hour ago.

As you can see, not everything is shiny!

Lovely [if you like that sort of thing], Sunbeam Scooter

As you can see, there is a decent turn-out. John loved seeing the older stuff, [his era], Jack wasn't so keen, reckons he's too young!
