Apologies for no price but this is a very reluctant sale.

Wow, should be in a bloody museum!

Might be worth contacting the powerhouse museum to see if they are interested in purchasing it.

You know, I'd feel guilty if I bought it - it really does belong in a museum.

This one then...


“The Scorching Sunbeam” appeared in 1899. It was a cheap machine without brakes, mudguards, or gear case. An important introduction in 1900 was the roller type free-wheel, with the bearings continuously lubricated by oil dripping from the cog and splashing up from the chain. The introduction of the free-wheel meant that more effective braking was required, so two brakes were introduced, a rod operated front rim brake and a pedal operated (back-pedalling) rear brake. Free-wheel and back-pedalling brake were an optional extra on all models. (according to Wolverhampton Heritage & History Website)

Can you pm me some details (ie $) please
