• Part of a collection of Douglas motorcycles
• Restored when purchased in 2003
• Current V5C on file

Douglas motorcycles were manufactured between 1907–1957 in Kingswood, Bristol and were especially known for their twin-cylinder engined bikes, initially fore and aft and eventually in an across-the-frame layout . The first of these models launched in 1945 was the T35 featuring a pivoted fork rear frame, sprung with torsion bars and leading link "Radiadraulic" front forks with compression springs and hydraulic damping. The company also built a range of cars between 1913 and 1922 and famously built Vespa scooters under license in the 1950s. The start of the 1950s saw the Mk5 variant.

This 1951 Douglas Mk5 was purchased as a fully restored machine that was a concours level restoration. It has formed part of a collection of Douglas machines in the vendor’s collection. Not used for a few years it will need some recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C.
