Ivy was a motorcycle manufacturer between 1907 and 1934 in Birmingham, England. It was run by various brothers from the Newman family. Ivy built about 6, 000 motorcycles of various models. Most used two-stroke engines made by either JAP or Precision, but there were also 225cc and 296cc engines designed and manufactured by Ivy and well respected in the period for being of robust construction and reliability with Ivy publicity material even suggesting their TT entries were still in standard tune. The company also made its own suspension forks, carburettors and sidecars. The company was heavily involved in motorcycle racing.
This 1924 Ivy Three two-stroke 350 single presents as an older restoration and is still in tidy condition today. Well-equipped for such a machine, and reported to be in running order, ‘DS’ was last ran a couple of years ago and the vendor advises usual recommissioning checks prior to use. ‘DS’ represents a good opportunity to acquire a manageable and eminently useable machine of the period with a relatively low seating position and the promise of a lively performance! The paperwork file includes old MOTs and tax discs, copies of period catalogues and some notes.
