Bristol-based Douglas Foundry commenced motorcycle production in 1907 with a horizontally-opposed twin. In the late 1920s speedway, or dirt track racing came to the UK. Almost all major UK manufacturers listed a dirt-track ready model, Douglas, the first marnufacturer to get established in the sport.

This Douglas DT5 was purchased by the current owner in 1999. In ownership, the owner has used and enjoyed this competition motorcycle. It is currently in dirt track trim, just as it was intended to be and has been utilised for sprints and a hill climb event from time to time. It comes complete with a current V5C, various paperwork and pictures. By separate negotiation, there are parts to make this machine a road-legal motorcycle.
