The Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club was formed in 1924 for the owners of Sunbeam motorcycles, but by 1925 the club had begun to welcome owners of all makes of machine to their club events. The club now caters for enthusiasts of early machines, particularly veteran machines and pre-1940, regardless of manufacturer. The club also runs many sporting trials which have a heritage that dates back to the club’s formative years.

The club name however has been retained since the original concept some 85 years ago. The continuing use of the name has often caused confusion among motorcycle enthusiasts, particularly owners of Sunbeam motorcycles, if they are looking for marque specific information or wish to join a club exclusively dedicated to Sunbeam machines.

Joining is easy and the membership fee is modest.

No, we run events for all makes of motorcycles pre 31st December 1939 and trials bikes

Unfortunately, we cannot. However you can contact the Sunbeam Owners Fellowship who do.

As we cater for all makes pre 31st December 1930 and trials bikes, we do not have a spares scheme.

We are unable to enter into valuations for any type of motorcycle. However, the club run the Pioneer Register to authenticate pre 1915 veteran machines and issues a certificate of eligibility to enter the Club’s Pioneer Run.

You need to submit an application form with photographs to the Pioneer Registrar. For more information please visit the Pioneer Run page.

We do not have an archive that is available for public use.

Club nights are held at the Six Bells, Chiddingly, Near Lewes, Sussex on the 1st Thursday each month. You will be made welcome if you come along.
