The first Sunbeam car was built in 1901 in partnership with Maxwell Maberly-Smith. In 1905, the Sunbeam Motorcar Company Ltd was established as a separate business. Sunbeams were high quality cars and became also famous for being the first British car to win a Grand Prix race and for five land speed records.
