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 is one of the best we have seen. Restored to a concours standard and to the correct factory specification, every aspect has had attention and some form of restoration. It appears to be exceptional in the quality of the work. Light recommissioning will be required before use, due to having been in storage. Offered with a current V5C.
