This car is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
After a tentative start in the late 1930s, Dawsons Motors Wolverhampton (DMW) recommenced production of a range of Villiers-powered lightweights in 1950. The firm built its first competition (trials) models in 1952 and introduced a scrambler a couple of years later. Metal Profiles was a sister company, sharing the same site in Sedgely, and DMW motorcycles used MP forks and suspension. In 1953 the firm introduced its P-type frame, which combined steel pressings with a square-tube front loop, and featured chain adjustment by means of snail cams at the swinging-arm pivot. This frame was used for the new top-of-the-range Dolomite II in 1957 (it seems there never was a Dolomite I), which was powered by the 250cc Villiers 2T twin. A 350cc version, the Dolomite IIA with the Villiers 3T engine, followed in 1959. This rare British two-stroke comes with a partial buff logbook recording the date of original registration as 5th August 1960. Tony East purchased the DMW in October 2014 from a Mr Stubbs of Hatton, who had owned it since 1996. Presented in restored condition throughout, the machine is offered with some old MoTs and old/ current V5C documents. One key present. It should be noted that the frame number has been over-stamped.
