Greeves Motorcycles was founded by Bert Greeves in 1951 and produced a range of road machines and later competition mounts for trials, scramblers and road racing machines. 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 originally conceived for Bert's disabled cousin and sales manager Preston Derry-Cobb. Using some of the knowledge and production techniques gained from the Invacar, and utilising Villiers supplied engines, they went onto great success in off-road competition, including Dave Bickers' wins in the 1960 and 1961 European Scrambler World Championship. The 250 Hawkstone was named after the track in Shropshire, the venue for the Btritish GP for many years and is easily distinguished by Greeves trademark leading link forks and cast alloy frame.

This 1961 Hawkstone 250, in classic Greeves colours of Blue frame and Silver petrol tank, has been part of an enthusiast private collection of off-road bikes for a number of years and is offered in authentically restored condition. Fitted with a Villiers engine and sporting Greeves patented leading link front forks and alloy frame member it is registered for tuse on the road. The bike has not been run for a few years so will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a spares manual, a few old MOTs and a current V5C.
