Stock Photo - A 1924 Sunbeam Cub. Driven by KL Guinness, this car was forced to retire with a damaged universal joint, after leading briefly on the 16th lap of the French Grand Prix at Lyon in 1924. Later in the year, it competed in the Spanish Grand Prix at San Sebastian, with Guinness at the controls once more. The race ended in tragedy when the car crashed into a ravine, killing Barrett, the mechanic riding with Guinness. The Sunbeam was rebuilt and used successfully by Segrave in British hill-climbing events. The Sunbeam racing team had been very successful in 1923, culminating with a win by Segrave in the French Grand Prix, therefore this 1924 design was similar, but the three competing cars were supercharged. Kaye Don, between 1928 and 1930, created over twenty international records in the 2-litre class at Brooklands with this car.
