The bike was bought by Coltrane in 1995 and sold in 2003 due to the “bad knee” of the actor who caused him problems when he had to start the bike (obviously with pedal start).
P.roprio on the occasion of the sale Coltrane wrote a letter to the new owner: “Dear new owner, congratulations! The old Sunbeam is one of the last motorcycles produced in England, and unfortunately a bad knee (the same one you start the bike with) forced me to sell it. I hope you will enjoy this old bike as much as I do. “.
