• A rare Vintage model from Baker
• Only a handful made in the period
• Restored to a good standard
• Dating Certificate

The Baker company, owned by Frank Baker, was located in Alvechurch Road, Northfield, Birmingham. He had a long involvement in motorcycle manufacture throughout the Edwardian era, and most Baker motorcycles were produced from 1928 to 1930. In 1928 the Baker factory produced two lightweight models using 172cc and 247cc Villiers engines and three-speed Albion gearboxes and by 1929 more versions were added to the range including models with 147cc and 196cc engines.

This very rare Baker Model 55 was purchased by the previous owner in a very sorry state, he persisted with the restoration over many years and as you see here today, saved the machine from the scrapheap. We have been advised that the Baker was run last year and will need some light fettling to get it on the road again. It comes with a Dating Certificate to enable it to be registered with the DVLA with an age-related number.
