The Sunbeam’s two 22.5-liter engines, yes 22.5-liters, each produced 435bhp, but have not run since before World War II more than 80 years ago. Corrosion, no stranger to older cars, attacked the internal pieces. With painstaking rebuilding, using specialist knowledge and custom parts, National Motor Museum engineers “will recapture the sounds, sights and smells of this ground-breaking machine and help to preserve it for future generations” NMM said. More Funds are now needed to complete the restoration project.
