The Rudge name was made famous by Graham Walker's victory in the 1928 Ulster Grand Prix. The bike, especially the bronze head Ulster replica became the mainstay of road racing in the day with even Enzo Ferrari running a race team in Italy using Rudges. This racing heritage gave the Rudge name a lot of credibility but unfortunately works supported racing and the supply of race machinery ended around the mid-thirties with the death of Rudge-Whitworth principle and driving force J.V. PUGH.
The Rudge Special on offer was purchased in 1997 as a basket case and needed plenty of work. The current vendor did not want to do a concourse restoration and decided to restore it as a shed discovery. The engine was sent to Mervyn Stratford for a complete overhaul. Since the Rudge has been enjoyed very much by the vendor and has never let him down since. It comes complete with a number of spares including front and rear mudguards, a current V5C, a large file with Rudge paperwork, and the advert from where it was purchased.
