Rex was founded by the brothers Pilkington as a car manufacturer in Coventry in 1899. Rex soon merged with a Coventry maker of bicycles and cars, Allard, and then later in 1922 the company merged with Coventry's 'Acme' motorcycle company forming 'Rex-Acme'. The company existed until 1933, and, in its heyday, was considered one of the greatest names in the British motorcycle industry.

This wonderful Rex Acme has the very rare parallel 500cc pushrod engine, with just a handful of 500cc engines produced for a short time. These are a very striking and handsome machine that seldom come onto the market. Found in a shed in the Durham area some years ago, the Rex on offer has been used and enjoyed by the current owner since he purchased it and has done many events in the UK and Europe. Cosmetically restored and running well, it sounds wonderful. It is offered with a current V5C, old MOT certificates, handwritten notes and VMCC paperwork. Please note: We have been advised that the machine, from time to time, jumps out of gear.
