I&#8217;ve been sitting on these photos kindly sent in by Andy Mac Dougall of Carmarthenshire for over a year now. Andy first got in touch for a new piston for his very smart\u00a0twin-port Model 9. Looks to me like a 1930\/1931? With open pipes displaying a clear sporting intent of course a 7.5:1 piston was the only sensible option. I&#8217;m not sure if the handlebars have been replaced by now\u00a0as I know Andy wasn&#8217;t happy with them when we last communicated.\u00a0 I seem to remember that Kenny Crawford had made a few sets.<\/p>\n<p>Andy previously entered the bike\u00a0for the WSW VMCC Saundersfoot 2014 Road Trial where there were 110 plus entries and came in a fine 5th overall. Winning Best Post Vintage Trial machine and coming Runner Up Post vintage in the concours was the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-P1010432.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-614\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-P1010432-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"1-P1010432\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-P1010432-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-P1010432-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-P1010432-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-P1010432.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-DSC03164-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-618\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-DSC03164-1-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-DSC03164-1-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-DSC03164-1-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-DSC03164-1-423x300.jpg 423w, https:\/\/www.sunbeamland.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1-DSC03164-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to apologise as I&#8217;ve been neglecting sunbeamland over the last 12 months whilst trying to forge a living as a photographer but promise to try and catch up a little over the next few weeks.
