1914 Sunbeam TT Racing Car

1913 Peugeot Copy!

Surprisingly Louis Coatalen did not design the car but purchased a 1913 Peugeot and copied it piece by piece, the only significant difference was an increase in engine capacity to the 3.3 litres allowed by the rules, this resulted in a 90 hp engine.

The Formation of Sunbeam

Sunbeam was formed in 1888 by John Marston Co. Ltd initially only producing bicycles and at the end of the century moving into the area of car manufacture and then racing cars.

Sunbeam During WWI

When WW1 broke out Sunbeam was required to manufacture aero engines for the war effort. When WW1 ended Sunbeam combined it's knowledge of pre-war racing cars and high performance aero engines to produce "state of the art" high performance  racing cars capable of setting new world land speed records and be competitive in many areas of car racing.

The End of Sunbeam

In 1935 Sunbeam became bankrupt and was purchased from the official receiver by the Rootes Group who continued to produce cars badged "Sunbeam" for many decades too come.
