I have seen photos of the 1924 Sunbeam 2 Litre GP car "Cub" at Retromobile, seemingly on a dealer's stand.

I knew it had left the NMM at Beaulieu, but thought it had gone back to the owner in France (Peugeot?).

If it is for sale, I am very surprised that either Beaulieu or the Brooklands Museum haven't started a campaign to acquire it... or maybe they tried?!

HervĂ© Charbonneaux is the current owner of the 'Cub'. The vehicle has been recently restored by IN Racing and Mecanic Classics and is to be auctioned by Aguttes during 2025.

 

Surprisingly, there's a short clip in Instagram about this 2-litre Sunbeam that is co-posted by Aguttes On Wheels and the FIA - I don't really understand the role of the FIA here.
