1963 Greeves Silverstone Race Bike Registration Number: N/ A Frame Number: TBA - Restored competition machine The first Greeves Silverstone clubman racer was a converted scramble machine by rider Reg Everett. In the 1963 race season, the production bike used a modified 24MDS frame, narrowed at the rear and powered by a Villiers 36A engine, fitted with a Greeves head and barrel. An Amal GP carburettor and expansion chamber were installed. The result was a nifty engine that produced 31bhp @ 7, 400bhp The bikes were built through versions RA5 to RE5 until 1967. The Greeves Silverstone was the training ground for many aspiring famous racers and was the preferred mount for the famous Chas Mortimer School of Racing. This 1963 model uses the MDS frame and the Villiers 36A engine, which has been tuned and previously fitted to a competitive race kart. The engine has been rebuilt, though will require recommissioning. All in an interesting bike, ideal for shows, club events or just for fun.
This bike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on Sunday 25th February 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
