Overview

For nearly a century, the Sunbeam name stood as a beacon of British automotive ambition, racing glory, and engineering innovation. From its humble beginnings in Wolverhampton's bicycle workshops to its record-shattering feats on the windswept sands of Pendine and Daytona, Sunbeam carved out a unique place in the story of the motorcar. It triumphed on Grand Prix circuits, roared into history with land speed records, and redefined rallying with the iconic Sunbeam Lotus. Yet behind the glamour and grit lay a tale of corporate takeovers, industrial challenges, and the gradual fading of one of Britain's most celebrated marques. This book traces the full arc of Sunbeam's evolution: the machines, the motorsport legends, the technical firsts, and the passionate community that continues to preserve its legacy long after the factory gates closed. Drawing solely on verifiable facts and written in a narrative, engaging style, Sunbeam: From Rootes to Records is the definitive chronicle of a name that helped shape the global automotive and motorsport landscape-one whose spirit endures in the hands of enthusiasts and the pages of history.
