Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1950s Sunbeam 90, owned by the seller for six years, is presented in a two-tone grey over blue with a grey interior. While the car is reported to drive well, potential buyers should note the inoperative fuel gauge, which indicates a need for some repairs.

Condition

5

The car's description indicates it drives well for its age, but it also mentions a non-functional fuel gauge and the need to consider its age, pointing to potential wear and tear. The two-tone paint and grey interior suggest it may have been restored or well-maintained, but without details on the quality of the restoration or the extent of any wear, a precise rating is challenging.

The Sunbeam 90 was produced and built by Sunbeam-Talbot from 1948 to 1954 and continued as the Sunbeam Mk III from 1954 to 1957.

A further 3bhp was extracted from the 2,267cc, four-cylinder engine, bringing the total to 80bhp and raising top speed to 91mph, while externally the model underwent a mild front-end facelift and gained a set of Raymond Loewy-inspired engine bay 'portholes'.

Otherwise, the Mk.

III remained much the same as the preceding Mk.

IIA, with four-speed manual transmission, steering-column gear-change and independent front suspension.

The model remained in production until 1957, in total approximately 2,250 examples were manufactured.

This Sunbeam has been owned by the vendor for the last six years and has proven to be totally reliable throughout his stewardship.

These were stylish cars back in the 50’s with the back door hinged at the rear.
