  • This Douglas Dragonfly has been restored for around 20 years
  • The current vendor has owned the Douglas since 1983
  • A few light modifications from a standard machine
  • Some light recommissioning before due to storage

By the end of the war in 1945, Douglas restarted motorcycle production – much to the surprise of the industry, as it was generally expected that the war had led to other interests, with the company being taken over by Aero Engines Ltd, so there were not many engineering staff left for the development of new motorcycles. The Douglas T35 used the same flat-twin 350cc as the generator, mounted in a duplex fame with torsion bar rear suspension. The T35 was an unexpected export success; 1947 factory records show them being exported to Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Santiago, and Russia.

This Douglas Dragonfly has benefitted from a restoration some 20 years ago. Residing with the current owner since 1983 and at some point the Dragonfly has been the subject of a few modifications from a standard machine. Some light recommissioning will be required before use, due to having come from storage.
