Good morning,

My husband says its a 1937/38 ,he knows a lot about them and has two old ones!

How then does he explain the no plate, Paris 1932. I'm always ready to be proven wrong but that seems fairly conclusive to me. I also live a couple of hundred yds from Verralls, Englands leader in sales and renovation of vintage and veteran motorcycles.

Back again,

Sorry but the frames were all single front tube of larger section by 37/8. Engines are single port with pipe on the right hand side and side valve.

Good evening,

Nice one Carol, thanks for the update. Time to put this one to bed now I think.
