A fully restored 1952 Scott

The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921, however, with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923, the unorthodox Scott two-stroke motorcycles began to become more conventional. Development of the three-speed Scott Flying Squirrel began in 1922 as the company was in severe debt and faced receivership. Launched at the 1926 Earls Court motorcycle show, the Flying Squirrel was expensive - nearly twice the cost of a sporting four-stroke motorcycle of the time.
This 1952 Scott Flying Squirrel has been fully restored by the previous owner to a very high standard at the time. Purchased by the vendor to form part of a private collection of machines and has had very use since purchase. It was last running around a year ago and may require some recommissioning before use.
