After WWII, Douglas was in financial difficulty and reduced its output to the 350cc flat-twin engine models with the engine mounted across the frame
The last new motorcycle produced by the company, the 1955 Dragonfly, was built around an improved version of the existing engine
Despite its riding comfort being described as 'equal to a car's', only 1, 457 Dragonfly motorcycles were sold before the company was taken over and production ended in 1957
348cc flat-twin, four-stroke OHV generating 17bhp. 4-speed box with chain final drive
This late 1957 example was purchased by our vendor in 1977 and restored to its current condition
Factory records suggest that this bike was a factory demonstrator
In running order and matching numbers
Large history file with numerous manuals and other paperwork. UK-registered on a current V5C
