Greeves Motorcycles was a British motorcycle manufacturer founded by Bert Greeves which produced a range of road machines and later competition mounts for observed trials, scrambles and road racing. The original company produced motorcycles from 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar, a three-wheeler for disabled drivers. The Greeves Scottish was named in honour of Jack Simpson’s class win in the 1957 Scottish Six Days Trial and for many years it was the clubman rider’s favourite mount. The bike went through a large number of updates during its eight-year production span but was distinguished by its alloy frame section and leading link forks.
This good looking c. 1961 Scottish, in classic Greeves colours of Blue frame and Silver petrol tank, has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years and is offered in authentically restored condition. The engine was subject to a £728 engine overhaul in 2010, invoice included, and the vendor reports it has not seen much use since. Run recently, the bike appears to have only had competition use so has never been registered.
