Although the new T35 proved to be quick for its class, it was under-developed when it arrived in showrooms during 1946, suffering from excessive side to side shake, a tendency to cut to one cylinder and poor quality control. These faults were addressed by Erling Poppe, Walter Moore and Freddy Dixon. The result was released in 1949 and typed the Mk3, quickly followed by the Mk4 which differed from the Mk3 in respect of the front mudguard which was no longer sprung and the introduction of cast alloy toolboxes. Two different styles of exhaust were offered, one utilizing slightly upswept tubular silencers, the other retaining the cast alloy "woofle box" under the engine.
This Douglas Mk4 was previously featured in ‘Classic Bike’ magazine in 1998. It was restored to a very high standard. It comes complete with various MOT certificates, handwritten letters, and invoices for parts and works, also included is the bill of sale from 1982 for £382.50 and before restoration photos current V5C. We have been informed that this bike is possibly one of only 100 left.
