Description
1956 DMW Trials 200cc Registration Number: 654 XWA Frame Number: 7P 105E Founded by Leslie "Smokey" Dawson, a speedway and grass-track star of the 20s and 30s who built many competition machines and took out patents on braking and suspension systems including Telematic forks, DMW (Dawson Motor Works) began manufacture in Wolverhampton and later moved to Dudley. He began building racing machines in 1945, then, partnered with Harold Nock of Metal Profiles, the firm produced JAP-engined machines and, from 1950, Villiers-engined motorcycles and scooters. Produced in 1956, this DMW Trials, fitted with a 197cc Villiers motor, has been part of a small collection in recent times. The bike was ridden over the previous summer but has not recently been used so may require a small amount of recommissioning. The DMW is road registered with the relevant documentation.
This bike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees Motoring at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on Sunday 25th February 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
