1957 Douglas Dragonfly 350cc Project
Reg. no. 988 YUF
Frame no. 1307/ 6
Engine no. 2043-6
The Dragonfly was built to replace the Mk. V and although it shared many components, its frame, forks and suspension were completely new. The new streamlined design included a large headlight nacelle that extended to meet the five gallon fuel tank, a single carburettor, modern coil ignition and state of the art Girling dampers. A total of approximately 1570 Douglas Dragonflys were produced between 1954 and 1957 before Douglas were taken over by Westinghouse and production turned exclusively to scooters.
This bike has been in its present ownership since 1989 and is now being sold as part of a deceased estate. Prospective purchasers should note some parts have been removed so completeness and mechanical integrity is unknown.
Comes with – a current V5C, an old VE60 logbook showing original registration number (TYP 55) some old MOTs and receipts and a Douglas maintenance manual.
Estimate: £500 - 700
