  • A rare Dunkley S65 scooter
  • Some restoration, but requires finishing
  • Engine turns over

Dunkley motorcycles were produced from 1914 to 1916, in Jamaica Row, Birmingham, and in the mid-1950s. In the 1950s, the Dunkley Whippet 60 scooter was introduced in April 1957 and remained available until 1959. It first appeared at the 1956 Earls Court Show as the Mercury Whippet 60. Fitted with a 60cc OHV engine, designed by Bruno Fargion, the Whippet utilised an Italian frame. Other models of the mid-1950s included the Dunkley Popular Scooter, the 1958 65cc Dunkley Whippet scooter, and possibly the Mercette which may have been assembled by Dunkley after Mercury's demise.

The 1950s Dunkerley Whippet S65 Scooter was being restored by the late owner, with most of the work being carried out to a good standard. The engine turns over, however, the scooter deserves the attention it needs to be completed. It is being offered without any documentation.
