Sunbeam 14/40 Sports 2/3 seater Special

Originally a 2-seat and dickie, this car was bought for Jack Cunliffe as a 21st birthday present.

As a sports 14/40 it already had a good performance and was enhanced over a number of years with

twin SU’s, 20hp gearbox & V radiator, enlarged exhaust manifold, finned brake drums and Rudge hubs

replacing the original Dunlop type. Jack was a regular visitor to Brooklands with the car.

The body was later changed to open 4 touring because of a growing family.

A full history of the car is known, including all owners, Jack owned the car until 1939.

The car runs well and does have the potential to be quick.

A full set of wings will go with the car.

Chassis No. 5844/FE

Engine No. 5268/F

Registered as Historic and the body type, tourer.

Would make a good trials car, but also handy for Hill Climbs, Sprints and Driving Tests.
