• Part of a private collection for many years
• An ideal VMCC event machine
• It is an older restoration
• An unusual make of the time

The Monopole Cycle Co of Foleshill, Coventry dabbled with motorcycle manufacturing during the Veteran, Edwardian and Vintage periods. Fielding a range of well-built but conventionally designed models, it utilised a variety of proprietary two- and four-stroke engines. Post-WW1, the marque offered customers a choice of Lightweight or Dual Purpose machines powered by Villiers, JAP and Abingdon units. Fitted with a 348cc JAP single, the Sporting Monopole Lightweight featured a distinctive, triangular tank, belt-drive and swept handlebars.

Joining the late vendor’s collection of unusual British motorcycles in 1991, this JAP-engined Monopole was subsequently treated to a restoration. Little used except for the occasional ride around the seller’s property, the Sporting Lightweight has been on static display for many years and so will require recommissioning prior to use. Still registered with the DVLA as ‘DS 9449’, it is accompanied by an old-style (blue and cream) V5 Registration Document which should make obtaining a current V5C somewhat easier for the new owner. Rare and handsome in equal measure.
