I'm pretty sure it's a Sunbeam. It's got a V-rim brake. There is a disc in the centre of the magneto chaincase, the mag is behind the engine and there is coachlining round the sculpted part of the front right part of the tank.
The attached pic is a 1923 500SV. Not exactly the same mind ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Punch the number plate into DVLA..

I'd go for BSA too. They were made in a factory that made rifles for the crown. King Charles I think if it goes all the way back.

Edit: I changed my tune. Wot Stinkers sez.
But Still a good bike. 😂 ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN.

It's even got the British Standard oil haemorrhage under it too.

It also has comedy brakes. Even for its time they were regarded as a bit shit.
Those rim things mounted to the wheel have a groove going all the way round. There is a cable operated pivot, when you pull the brake lever, it optimistically pushes a small, v-shaped block down into the groove. They face forwards so they don't even cam-on.

A mate has them on an old (leather belt drive) BSA and he reckons it wont even hold it stationary on a hill. To attach a sidecar to one boggles the mind. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
