Rudge Whitworth Cycles was a British bicycle, bicycle saddle, motorcycle and sports car wheel manufacturer that resulted from the merger of two bicycle manufacturers in 1894, Whitworth Cycle Co. of Birmingham and Rudge Cycle Co. of Coventry. Rudge motorcycles were produced from 1911 to 1946. The firm was known for its innovations in engine and transmission design, and its racing successes. Their sales motto was "Rudge it, do not trudge it." The company also produced the first detachable wire wheel in 1907, and was known for its knockoff wheels on sports cars; that brand continued well into the 1960s.

This recent discovery was found sleeping next to the Sunbeam Model 9 in the sale. Purchased in 1985 it had been parked up and never used beyond that. An ideal winter project, it is a vintage machine that is Banbury Run-eligible. This Rudge-Whitworth is offered with a V5C and a continuation RF60 that dates from 1947. The pictures show all that is there, and we advise they are looked at as there are no other parts than what is shown.
