After the war the car passed into the ownership of David Scott-Moncrief the well known automotive historian and purveyor of quality cars to the gentry.
Full history of the car is known and includes a large number of invoices covering various areas of restoration that have been carried out.
The car has had very sympathetic past owners who have maintained in good order and today she is a fine example of the golden period of motoring when Sunbeam's quality, performance and reliability were second to none. She has recently had new tyres and includes the appropriate tools and jacking system.

The attached photos clearly indicate the excellent condition of all the brightwork, bodywork.

This is a very reliable Sunbeam 90 Mk. III. The two-tone paintwork is relatively tidy, although though is some paint crazing on the front wing and a bit of rust creaping in to the bottom of the doors. The interior is nice, although the headlining will require some attention. Please also note the fuel gauge does not work. ...
