Alvis produced cars from 1919 to 1967…and a motorcycle in 1920. Designed by T. G. John (of Alvis) and built under the name Stafford Auto-Scooters of Coventry, it was sold as the Mobile Pup just after the end of the First World War, it had an Alvis-built 142cc John OHV engine positioned on the left side of the front wheel. The flywheel was on the right and was connected through the wheel spindle by a shaft. It had wire wheels, with the rear one fully enclosed, and the fuel tank sat above the mudguard. Initially, it was ridden in a standing position, but a seat became an option at a later date.
This Stafford Mobile Pup was purchased some 40 years ago. Collector and enthusiast of rare machines, Mike Webster, has had it on display in his collection for many years. A rare model to find today, this example is described as in good condition. Not run since purchased 40 years ago, it is offered with an old style V5 and some spares.
