• Authentically presented Douglas Dragonfly, one of 1,457
• The last in the line of the distinctive 350cc flat-twins
• Ridden this summer to vintage shows, supplied with a V5C

Manufactured between 1907–1957 in Kingswood, Bristol Douglas motorcycles were especially known for their horizontally opposed 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, radical front and rear suspension designs for the time. The last new motorcycle produced by the company, the 1955 Dragonfly, was built around an improved version of the existing engine but 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. The company also built a range of cars between 1913 and 1922 and famously built Vespa scooters under license in the 1950s.

The last in the line of the Douglas long-running 350cc flat twin range, this attractive looking Dragonfly in Cream and Green is offered in authentic condition. Bought by the vendor last year, he has used it this summer to attend vintage shows and rallies, winning the 'Best British Bike' at the East Coast Harley Club event. The bike comes supplied with a buff logbook and a current V5C.
