Good question. I do not know why few of the Sunbeam are listed as USA rather than UK on the site. |

The 14/40 was originally introduced as the 14 in 1921 with an ambitious mono- block four cylinder wet liner aluminium engine. This proved troublesome and a cast iron block was soon substituted. The 14/40 engine was 75 x 120mm, 2121cc. It was Sunbeam's smallest and most popular model and sold 800 examples in 1923. Chassis price was originally £550, later £495. The succeeding 16 was £425 for the chassis in 1927, in an increasingly competitive market. |

Quite accurate research by the 'Chariots of Fire' producers- this car would have been about a year old by the time of the 1924 Olympics. -- Last edit: 2010-03-16 13:41:56 |

[It is NOT a 14/40]. This particular car is a 1923 Sunbeam 14hp. Chassis No.5138C; Engine No.5166C. It is well known to the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register, and was also featured in "The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries" ,Episode 1. as the vehicle in which the Police Inspector was driven to the murder scene. -- Last edit: 2011-07-03 13:27:21 |
