Sunbeams identify one of the earliest British vehicles that won the Grand Prix races. The Sunbeams managed to set quite a number of ground speed records. The original new vehicles that were manufactured by the Sunbeam Motor Car Company were based on the Peugeot's mode of operation. This is because they were popular from the year they were launched. Another reason was because the manufacturing rate was also high with ten cars being manufactured on a weekly basis. An engineer, Louis Coatalen, who had worked at Humber, is the man behind the local productions increase and low outsourcing rates. The new engineer eventually started a program for Sunbeam's racing that increased in fame. In addition, he added new touring vehicles that were based under the category for racing vehicles.

The first manufactured Sunbeam vehicles were launched in 1901, after corporation with Maxwell Maberly-Smith. These Sunbeam-Mabley designs were unique ones, having seats on each side of belt-drives that were powered by means of single-cylinders in engine forms and had less than 2.2 kW. At that time, the company established the production of Thomas Pullingers vehicles whose designs were based on Berliet mechanicals. They also introduced new models based on Peugeot motors that were sold weekly in big numbers as they were on demand.

John Marston, the man behind the implementation of the Sunbeams idea, was born in 1836 in Ludlow, in an averagely-rich family. When he was fifteen years old, he was sent to Wolverhampton to undergo training under Edward Perry, who was a manufacturer of Japanware. When he was twenty three years, he started on his personal Japanning trade and made different kinds of household utensils. In 1871, when Perry passed away, he had already done credible work and so he inherited his business and integrated it in his.

He started off by manufacturing Sunbeam bicycles and decided to adopt his wife's suggestion of a suitable name, and thus the name "Sunbeam". During the late 1890's, his business partner, Thomas Cureton, encouraged him to think of manufacturing a vehicle. They came up with sketches of the sample vehicles and that is when the actual work started on the model in 1899. In a couple of years, the company produced great numbers of good quality vehicles and managed to be ranked as largest employers in Wolverhampton.

Sunbeams were marques that were registered in 1888 at Wolverhampton, England by a company known as John Marston Co. Ltd. That company started off by manufacturing bicycles, progressed to motorcycles before manufacturing vehicles. From there, it progressed to circa in and applied the marques to the entire three forms of transport modes. The company ultimately assembled roughly seven hundred aircraft in the First World War, which was an incredibly great triumph.

This led to the development of Sunbeam Motorcar Company Ltd in 1905, distinct from the other of Marston's established business that maintained the Sunbeam bicycles and motorcycles manufactured at that time. Sunbeam continued to make small numbers of the Veterans, and by 1912, they were progressing satisfactorily with the conservative stylish vehicles. This was an extremely big competition to the Rolls Royce. Sunbeams were reflected on as vehicles for people who believed that the Rolls Royce was somewhat grandiose.
