somewhatfoolish Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Twin port two stroke suggests 1930s, no idea of a make though. holbeck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackboilersuit Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Twin port two stroke suggests 1930s, no idea of a make though. I'd tend to agree. Looks like it might be a Velocette??https://www.ebay.ie/itm/1938-Velocette-GTP-250cc-barn-find-restoration-project-with-V5-NO-RESERVE-/121741493240 somewhatfoolish and holbeck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiperCub Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I was thinking JAP as well, but don't think they did 2-strokes did they??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanky Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I was thinking JAP as well, but don't think they did 2-strokes did they??? I've got a JAP 2-stroke engine in my stationary engine so they at least dabbled with it for motive power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect if anyone susses out what they're from, my commission bid won't win. blackboilersuit and somewhatfoolish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holbeck Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 I popped into the saleroom after work and sadly I did not win. (Even after sending Mrs h to up my bid on her way to work). I understand they went for £70 + commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
