The DOT Cycle and Motor Manufacturing Company was established by Harry Reed in Manchester in 1903 as a cycle manufacturer and by 1906 they had built their first motorcycle using a Peugeot engine. In 1932 control of the company passed to a young Burnard Scott Wade who together with his family ran the concern until its closure, the DOT factory still exists at Ellesmere Street and has become something of a landmark in Manchester. Famous for their slogan 'Devoid of Trouble' (DOT), they mainly produced small capacity two strokes for competition use.

This Dot 250 was fully rebuilt by the vendor, a professional engineer, in the mid-1980s with all new engine and gearbox bearings and seals, new alloy mudguards, wheels rebuilt, new exhaust, new saddle and more and a GRP fuel tank as the original was beyond repair. The frame is the unique DOT square section tubing painted DOT Red, slightly chipped in places but can be touched-in with the original paint supplied, and Earles leading link front forks. The engine is a Villiers 32A 250cc two-stroke with a square barrel and chrome bore and the Smith's speedo shows only 111 miles since the rebuild in 1985. This rare model will be supplied with a complete file of receipts from the rebuild, a Villiers User's Handbook (copy) and a Villiers parts list (copy) with exploded diagrams together with a V5 registration document.

PLEASE NOTE :- The vendor has returned the V5 to DVLA after noticing a mistake with the capacity. Due to delays in Swansea it has not been returned to him in time for the auction. We have a copy of the old document and his reference number for the case. The corrected document will be forwarded once received.
