£3, 800 - £4, 500
From the estate of the late David Atkinson
1935 Scott 596cc Flying Squirrel
Registration no. YXG 726
Frame no. 4087
Engine no. DPY 4607 (see text)
This Scott Flying Squirrel was acquired by the immediately preceding owner circa 1995. Fairly early in that ownership a spare engine ('DPY 4607') was purchased and fitted after the installed engine ('FZ 3594A') began to misbehave during one of the numerous Irish rallies attended by the owner, a Scott Owners Club member. The spare engine remains in the frame to this day. This engine uses drip-feed lubrication. The gear ratios were changed by the preceding owner from wide to medium, and the clutch withdrawal mechanism fitted with a needle roller thrust bearing. The rear stand has been modified to a 'low lift' for ease of use. Over the years with its preceding owner the Scott successfully completed numerous rallies including the aforementioned Irish events, South Lakes Mountain Rally and Levis Cup Trial.
The late owner purchased the Scott at Bonhams' Stafford sale in April 2012 (Lot 311). At that time we were advised that it had covered fewer than 100 miles since April 2010 and that it started and ran and did not require re-commissioning. In 2012 we also stated that the accompanying old-style continuation logbook (issued 1947) recorded the engine fitted at that time as '4088' of 498cc. Unfortunately this logbook is no longer with the machine. Since acquisition the registration has been changed and the machine kept in storage. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road. Offered with a V5C document.
