arque that has tended to be
this 1s a m
overlooked by historians and other
researchers, with the result that this is
the first definitive book on the
subject.
The author, a real Sunbeam
enthusiast, has spared no effort in
following the career of John Marston
and those who succeeded him, taking
the story from the early formative
years of the company through to the
- advent of the post-World War IT twins
that created such a sensation when
they appeared on the market soon
after the manufacture of motorcycles
lor the civilian market was resumed.
The story of the Sunbeam bicycle is
included too, because 1ts manufacture
bt closely interwound with that of
Motorcycles in the early days.
