The Model 8 was Sunbeam's first overhead-valve production roadster, arriving with the 1924 numbered range. It used an enclosed dry-sump oiling system and was the first Sunbeam with internal-expanding brakes at both ends. The tank tube could be unbolted so the head could be serviced with the engine in the frame.
