Condition
7
The car presents excellently after a previous extensive restoration, but it has been well-used over the past ten years. It was repainted and reupholstered in the 90s, and has been regularly serviced. There is no mention of significant damage, but some wear is implied due to regular use and time off the road prior to 2012.

Sunbeam's initial post-Kaiser War 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 2,121cc 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, Coupé, Sports model, Saloon, and Weymann Saloon.
A total of some 2,850 14/40s were manufactured during the model's two-year reign.
It was common for British car-makers of the Edwardian and vintage eras to offer Colonial versions of their popular models, which were more robustly built to cope with the more extreme terrains and temperatures of foreign lands.
