Ive just brought this original 1931 at the weekend and it has the original chrome tank and hasn't been restored. I will take some better shots when the bike arrives later this week.

The model 10 tank is different to the 9 or 90 for 1931. Yes only year they used Chrome on the tank. My 90 was in need of a re-chrome and had dents are you sure yours is beyond it? Mine before and now.

Does a Model 10 tank matches a Model 9? Just in case: https://thetimingchest.com/product/1931-1932-marston-sunbeam-model-10-350cc-motorcycle-fuel-tank-original-condition/

Pretty much what I have - apart from a tank suitable for chroming

This is a picture off the Internet of a 1931 model 9 with a chromed tank.

Not in 1931 I believe - one year in chrome and black.

Hi Mark,

I thought Sunbeam tanks are simply painted black...

Cheers, Thomas

Currently restoring a 1931 model 9, but underneath the current painted tank, it is too far gone/dented/filled to be chromed - as it should be as per the 1931 model I believe? I guess my only option is to hunt for a spare chromed tank, but I fear hen's teeth may be easier to find.

Advice appreciated

Many thanks

Mark
