Models of Yesteryear Y-8/2; 1914 Sunbeam Motorcycle & Sidecar

Models of Yesteryear

This MOY stands out from the others, the only motorbike, vacuum plated in silver (or very occasionally gold) and in 1:34 scale - much larger than anything else at the time. The modelling though is very very good. You normally see it in silver with a dark green seat in the sidecar. If the sidecar seat is black then values escalate quite a bit, the values shoot up for a bright green seat or gold plating rather than silver, but beware because there are fakes out there.
