• A very rare Aberdale autocycle
• Restored many years ago
• Not registered on DVLA
• Accompanying paperwork on file

Founded in 1919, the Aberdale Cycle Company focused on producing high-volume, popular bicycles. After World War II, the demand for economical, personal motorized transport surged. Leveraging Bown's motorcycle manufacturing expertise, the company introduced the Aberdale Autocycle in March 1947. This autocycle, powered by a 98cc Villiers Junior de Luxe engine, featured a custom toolkit and a Smiths speedometer, distinguishing it from other machines of the era. By 1948, fewer than 2,000 autocycles had been produced.

This 1947 Aberdale Autocycle is a rare survivor today with only a handful ever being made. It was restored by the previous owner around 1985-6. Sadly, the bike’s original registration number had been lost by then due to the DVLA not being notified of its continued existence during the late 1970s / early 1980s. Not run for the last eighteen months, it will need recommissioning and new tyres. Some accompanying paperwork is on file.
