MOT: Exempt
Douglas Bros, who started up in 1906, acquired the design of a flat twin-cylinder engine from J. Barter's defunct Light Motor Company enterprise, Barter coming to work for Douglas. Having two cylinders horizontally opposed 180 degrees to each other was much the same elegant solution to twin-cylinder engine design as adopted by over fifty other motorcycle manufacturers, although Douglas chose a longitudinal layout for their early twins.
'BF 7419' is a very good example of the much sought-after and, without doubt, rare 600cc OHV twin-cylinder Douglas OB. An older restoration, still in very good condition, the OB has a reputation for sporting performance combined with excellent handling and, according to the vendor, this machine is no exception! The seller notes that he has always enjoyed riding 'BF' particularly because of its handling, very ‘ample power and endearing nature’ and although 'BF' has proved to be a most enjoyable and reliable machine during the current ownership, he advises a routine check-over before use. An excellent opportunity to acquire a very well presented and well-equipped example of one of the rarest and most sought-after roadgoing Douglas motorcycles produced in the 1920s. Paperwork includes V5C Registration Document.
