Sunbeam 1000hp Rebuild (Part 1) - Restoring the first 200mph land speed car
Henry Segrave's twin-engined 1000hp Sunbeam land speed car is being restored in time for its 100th birthday.
S&G visited the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in May 2024, to see how things are progressing and to take a closer look at the bare bones of this historic piece of machinery.
In Part One, senior engineer Ian "Stan" Stanfield gives us a tour of the car's chassis and we discover some of the Sunbeam's secrets, hidden for almost 100 years.
With thanks to the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu and Brookspeed Automotive. For more information about the Sunbeam's restoration, and to make a donation to the campaign, visit the NMM's website:

    Amazing stuff, would be great to see it running again. Its funny how even today 1000hp is still a hell of a lot of power, back then i looked at the cars of the time compared to this and the Ford Model A that came out in 1927 had 40hp which i would guess is the average car of the day, the Sunbeam was 25x more powerful. Also funny how now we have special road cars like the Bugatti's with over 1500bhp, always think it would be funny if you could bring someone like Segrave back and show him the Bugatti Chiron or something like that imagine what he would think of it.

    I don’t trust the allies assessment that the Merc would have ‘flipped.’ What did they think the winglets were there for? The Germans at that time were world leaders in high speed aerodynamics having three supersonic wind tunnels. The allies had none. Post war the victorious allies were quite haughty and produced a lot of propaganda, sour grapes regarding advances in German high technology of all kinds.

    amazeing car great work but keeping the patina? what is impressive about this car is what it did when it was new the record it set. not how long its been sitting. makeing the gauges proper is what the car deserves. imagine if the victory had a mast rot off but the conservators said well we want to keep the patina of an old ship.

    Awesome awesome awesome awesome do you get the idea lol . How amazingly respectful that he would clear coat the chassis to keep the original patina etc and have the gauges re furbished not reconditioned I could hug that guy for the respect he shows to the machine and its builders . Such a golden age and to be able to see the rapid advancement of the engineering it's such a contradiction it has drum brakes cable operated but has over head camshafts and four valves a cylinder and dry sump Awesome Awesome Awesome .

  • @austinshackles549
    @austinshackles549 День тому

    My late father had Segrave's book "The Lure of Speed" which contains a whole chapter about the speed record attempts made by the Sunbeam company and culminating in the 200 mph record project. At no point in the book is there any reference to "slug" or any other nicknames. The description of the building and setting the record, including the fact that while they were at Daytona setting up the heard of Parry-Thomas's death at Pendine attempting the same record, is a fascinating read and really brought home to me how much they were pushing the limits at the time. For various reasons the car never actually achieved its full potential: Segrave was convinced that it could have gone faster than the (IIRC) 207mph record they set.

    • @austinshackles549

      @owensmith7530 День тому

      Has any land speed record car ever achieved what people thought it could achieve? On Thrust SSC Ron Ayres said they must aim high because historically they have all under achieved, and that turned out to be true for Trust SSC too due to the shock waves. Ayres felt rolling resistance had been neglected as a source of drag on all previous LSR cars.

    Putting clear coat on it is a mistake. That stuff wasn't on there when it was built so it really has no business being on there now. I pray it isn't some high gloss stuff that's an inch thick. Nothing looks worse.

    • @mercoid
      @mercoid День тому

      I am confident that they are sensible enough to be very sympathetic to originality. Perhaps they recognized slow degradation of the paint and determined that clear coat was the best option. A satin finish wouldn’t be too noticeable.
