Description
Greeves 20TA frame number 8062/ TA
This Greeves was manufactured in 1957 and sold by dealer R H King of Bedford in 1958. It's road registered LSV161. A dating letter form the Greeves rider association describes a note in the factory dispatch records that reads "tuned engine, fist off line" - which may be significant. At some time earlier in its life it's had a replacement 9E engine fitted with a modern piston and 31A top-end (246cc) - this bike would have left the factory as a 197cc but from 1960, 246cc engines were also fitted.
It wears its age with pride and is a little "shabby-chic" in places but it starts and runs very well - it's currently geared for trials/ scrambles and ideally needs a different front (or rear) sprocket if it is to be used much on the road as the gearing is quite low!
Viewing in Biddulph Staffs.
