Sunbeam's initial post-WWI offerings were based on its pre-war designs and the first truly new model was the four-cylinder 14 introduced in 1922.

A major step forward, it evolved into the 14/40 of 1924.

This was powered by the same four-cylinder OHV 2121cc engine, featuring magneto ignition and Claudel Hobson MZP carburation.

This unit was mated to a three-speed gearbox with right-hand change, suspension was by semi-elliptic leaves at the front and cantilever units at the rear and four-wheel brakes were standard fare.

The newcomer was offered with a variety of different bodies - two and five-seat Tourers, Coupe, Sports model, Saloon, and Saloon by Weymann.

A total of some 2,850 14/40s were manufactured during the model's two-year reign.

Chassis number ‘5917ED’ was supplied new to its first owner in December 1924 and was clothed in Tourer coachwork from new.

The first owner, Ethelbert Stott, was a member of the Abraham Stott & Son cotton spinning company in the Manchester area.
